  1. My DH was the taste tester for this-He said this was AWESOME!
     
  2. We thought these tasted good--the only problem was they were VERY dense and hard to swallow. HAVE A DRINK HANDY! I will make these again, but add a leavening agent or more liquid/butter and reduce the coffee crystals (I used Nescafe and the coffee layer was slightly bitter). Thanks for posting!
     
  3. It was really hard to stop at one serving of these (I failed to stop until I had eaten about four). The bars are not very sweet, and they have a nice, strong coffee taste to them. We really enjoyed this recipe! I left out the optional nuts, otherwise followed the recipe closely. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!
     
  4. These are fabulous! I used whole milk instead of the cream and freeze dried coffee. They are very pretty as well. I topped mine with chopped pecans and would have put mini chocolate chips on top as well, but I didn't have any. I loved how dense they are. They firmed up quite a bit as they cooled.
     
  5. I made these because I love the taste of coffee with cream and that's exactly what they taste like! I especially like that they're not too sweet--just sweet enough!! And they're pretty too. The recipe said that nuts, chocolate chips or powdered sugar on the top were optional - I used them all and it was excellent - some pieces had the powdered sugar, some had chocolate chips, some had nuts and some pieces had a little bit of each!! And the coffee smell in my house during and after baking these was wonderful! I will certainly make these again!! Thanks for sharing an awesome recipe!!
