I made these bars with really high hopes. I had trouble with the middle layer setting. I left them in the refrigerator overnight before spreading the top, chocolate layer on, and even then, the middle layer was almost set on top, but was very runny underneath. After spreading on the top layer, I left them in the refrigerator overnight again before I cut them, and they had still not set. I'm not too proud to say that I ate them with a spoon. ; ) I'm going to try to make them again and will re-review.
