Looks great, tastes awful! I made these last night, and they are so dense and cakey, I can't even bring myself to finish the pan - and that's saying a lot! Sorry! I really wanted to like these!

Made this one up for a pre-Christmas bake sale at the nursing home I work at...I DID change the choc chips to 1 cup of peanut butter chips for something a little different...It looked nice in the jar and within 10 minutes it had sold for a whopping $8! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Fits perfectly in a liter jar which I topped off with some walnuts. Very classy, prettylooking jar. I hope it tastes as good as it looks and I'm sure it will. These are going to French people who will be surprised and I hope delighted by the idea.
