Thanks for sharing this great recipe S'kat! I happened to have the Pampered Chef bar pan so followed instructions to a "T" and the bars came out perfect! Very, very quick and easy to put together and delicious result!! I especially enjoyed the flavor and texture of the nuts in this recipe. Just a note...Unless the prep time includes cooling time, it really only took me about 10 to 15 minutes to put this together. Thanks for posting this keeper! :)
