Made this recipe as directed since I wanted to know the intended taste & will tell you, it's GREAT ~ We really enjoyed the combo of chocolate, cranberries & peanut butter! And, even though it bakes for a while, I might just toast the walnuts next time before including them! VERY NICE TASTING BARS ~ Thanks for sharing! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my Chocoholic!
