oh boy these are rich, a small piece goes a long way, made for my sweet-tooth DS, might cut the chocolate chips down to 1/2 cup next time as it very sweet, no complaints from my DS, he loved them, thanks Reds!...Kitten:)

These taste like a cross between a cookie and candy! It will satisfy your sweet tooth. I was a little worried while spreading the first layer as it was a little thin but they came out perfectly. I had to hide some in the freezer from myself but I bet they'll taste good frozen too!:)
