This is a great recipe! I always bring these when I visit someone - a perfect houseguest gift. I often end up using more butterscotch and chocolate chips. -
These classic cookies taste wonderful and a sturdier crust really puts them over the edge! Made two batches and there still weren't enough to go around! -
I love these bars and I think the sturdier crust made them even better! Sometimes when I made them the old way they would fall apart, but this crust really helps them stay together. The only problem that I had was that two cups of graham cracker crumbs wasn't quite enough to cover the bottom of my dish (I used the size the recipe called for) so I had to make up another batch and use part of that. Otherwise this recipe was perfect. Easy and delicious! Thanks for posting! -
These were great! I used a cup of chocolate and a cup of butterscotch chips. Just like what Mom used to make! -
