Hmmm, mine where dry, namely the crust and looked nothing like the photo. I threw them in the trash. They fell apart when I tried to cut them into squares. Sorry folks, but this midwestern girl thinks these are horrible! A crumbly crust, and very unappetizing!

I loved these bars, very tasty, chewy & easy to make! They came out looking exactly like the picture & the crust didn't get overly soggy. I will definitely make these again! Thank you Betty Crocker for this wonderful site.
