Halloween - Candy Bars

Submitted by Cindi-Marie-Bauer

"This bar recipe is made from leftover Halloween candy bars. I originally came across this recipe back in 2003 at the Mr. Food recipe website. I did however, add a bit more of the chopped candy bars to the recipe."

Leftover candy bars in our house, yeah, right! This makes a great, chewy bar cookie, and you are only limited by your imagination. I used a combination of Israeli candy bars, actually went out and bought a combo mini bar bag. It was just a tad too sweet, must be all that candy, so I made this a second time cutting the sugar back to a heaped 1/2 cup. Perfection!
