These bars got "2 thumbs up" from everyone in the house last night. We loved them! I can see why the recipe suggests making this into 24 servings because they are rich and very sweet but oh so good! I can't wait to try them again and use 6 oz. of butterscotch chips with 6 oz. milk chocolate chips. :D Thanks for the great recipe, Mary!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
