I conferred with Michelle before doubling this recipe and promised to NOT hold her responsible should it not work. NOW that I've tried it and baked them in a 9 x 13 pan, I will give her ALL THE CREDIT SHE DESERVES...these remind me a lot of blondie bars but they turned out for me MUCH better than those ever do. The consistency and flavor are very good and I loved the walnuts in them. I had never tried that either. Thanks Michelle...everyone is going to be thrilled to try these tomorrow.... UPDATED: They were the first dish that was devoured and I had to come home and print copies of the recipe for 50 people....I'd say it was a hit!!

they tasted just fine,but i was just a little dissapointed in the flatness of the bar.i thought that they would rise a little higher than they did.i think i'll look for another recipe :(

Well we just loved these! They were more like Butter Tart bars, but absolutely delicious and disappeared so fast. Thanks for sharing...very easy to prepare!
