This is soooo good! I made it for a family gathering and everyone loved it. It makes a lot and there was none left. It even beat out the brownies!!

Everyone thinks these bars are wonderful. I, too, used cream cheese in the frosting, but I only used 4 oz. and 1/4 cup of butter. Has anyone tried to put some kind of nuts in this bar?

We didn't like the taste and the texure of this recipe. Will I try this again? I don't think so. This was the first time that I have tried a recipe from you. Not a very good start. Thanks

A very good bar recipe, great without the frosting, I used whip cream, instead of the frosting. It has a good moisture content They make wonderful dessert dishes, afterschool snacks or simply something to chase the 'blahs away'.
