EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Add a flavor punch by replacing the vanilla extract with 1 1/2 tablespoons rum extract.

Serving these and other bar cookies is easiest if you first remove a corner piece. (And you get to nibble on that sacrificed piece!)

I made these for Christmas and I have never heard my husband's family compliment me so much in my 22 years of marriage to him. Everyone LOVED them. I will definitely make them again and not just for Christmas either, they are great for any occassion. Anyone looking for something different, not overly sweet and so easy to make (besides tasting really great)...this is the recipe to try. I will be making them again, no doubt about it.

This recipe was excellent! Although, rather than melting the chips with the shorting for the top I just included all the chips in the recipe. I made these as the dessert for a friend who was out of work from operation - a nice alternative to cookies. I pulled them out of the oven after 21 minutes and they were perfect. The edges were golden but the center was still moist and gooey. The perfect consistency! The flavor is perfect, not too rich.
