These taste great but messy to make. I cut the recipe in half because I don't have a bowl big enough to mix the whole recipe :) The bake time is a bit long at 375º, since the bars got dry and crumbly. I may try again with 1/4 recipe and bake at lower temp. I suggest wearing latex gloves to do the mixing since it is quite sticky.

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those.
