This was very good and very simple. I ended up substituting the brown sugar with honey and the Karo syrup with molasses, but it still came out amazing! Definitely something I plan to experiment more with in the future. Thanks for the recipe!

I followed the recipe completely except after they had cooled I melted a bag of chocolate chips and a bag of butterscotch chips and frosted them with the molten deliciousness....these were a big hit with my work people....thank you sooo much Grandma Good!!!

Yummy! I ran short on corn syrup so used about half honey in its place.

i too thought they were wonderful -- i used splenda brown sugar so it was not a sugar overload and let them cool in the same pot (analon) that i made them in -- they were so simple and easy to make -- thanks for sharing

I thought these were very easy, and very tastey, however, for whatever reason, mine do not stay molded together. When I cut them into bars they crumble apart in my hands. Other than that though, I really like them, and will still make them again.
