"Found this gem on a package of walnuts. It's become a favourite here at our house. I cut them into bite size pieces just so I can have a few to savour and not feel any pangs of guilt."

This is an excellent bar recipe. I followed the directions exactly as written. The only trouble I had was that after they were cut, the bottom crust didn't always stay "attached". Perhaps I baked the crust too long or should have "pressed" the chocolate chips and nuts into the crust. Despite that, they turned out to be a tasty little treat that I will make again. Thanks for a great recipe!!!!

I have also been making this recipe for years, found it in the newspaper. It is to die for! We end up grabbing one every time we walk into the kitchen, even at breakfast! (It's never too early for chocolate!) You have to try this recipe, you won't regret it! Great for parties or potlucks, that way you don't end up eating it all yourself!
