Made these to serve a group I'm hosting tomorrow evening & they should be a big hit ~ I followed the recipe right on down & even though the bars themselves are very tasty, it was the combo of cream cheese & marmalade that really set these off! Definitely a keeper recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block]
