Made these GREAT TASTING BARS to take to an art class & share with the students, & to make them a little less overpowering with calories, I cut the finished pan into 16 smaller bars (15 students & the instructor, so . . .)! Very warmly received & acclaimed ~ Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block tag]
