  1. I too have made these for DS's to take for a long week-end with friends. These are so ooey gooey and rich that there's nothing to not like about these bars. I didn't have the mini M&M's and so I chopped coarsely a bunch of regular sized M&M's and also subbed in a handful of mini-chocochips. A great bar for your sweettooth!~ Made for PRMR.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
