Expert Tips

Make this recipe and wrap the bars individually the day before the event.

Chocolate lovers can stir in 1 cup chocolate chips or candy-coated chocolate candies before pressing in the pan. Or, go nuts! Stir in 1/2 cup chopped peanuts instead.

    Turned out great. They are very, very sweet. That may be because I made my own caramel, which was also betty crocker recipe. I drizzled caramel and chocolate topping on it for decor. Great!
