These were pretty good. This makes a really soft peanut butter cookie bar with a soft fudgy filling. I left out the peanut butter in the filling so it would just be plain chocolate.

Absolutely fantastic! I have made them with as little as 1 cup of brown sugar, however, and they still turned out great. Taste-tested on coworkers.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" The first day I made these three of us sampled and rated them including my 16 yr old granddaughter,verdict was wouldn't make them again.First of all we couldn't figure out what the mixture of flour on top did except make them dry, but agreed it might be to prevent the middle layer from burning, so I dumped it off and decided to try them the next day. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! I took some to work and two of my co-workers said they were the best squares they had ever tasted. They seem to be the type of sweet that gets better the longer they set. Absolutely delicious!!! Will make again.

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy". I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
