Tastes great and were very easy to make. Don't use the foil in the bottom of the pan. Too hard to get seperated.

I first found this recipe a year ago at the time my son was six and loved these bars so much I think he ate half the pan so I took them to a family Christmas party and everyone loved them and wants them back every time we all get together.

After reading the reviews I altered the baking method to line the pan with foil and then butter it liberally. My edges were not overdone and the middle was set. The flavor is sooooo wonderful! The main reason to not make them is that it is so hard to stop eating them! My 4 year old grandson couldn't get enough of them either. This is a new favorite for sure! Thanks for posting!
