Heavenly Honey Nut Bars

Submitted by dusty AE

"I got this from a very dear friend. Preparing the chocolate is very fiddly but well worth the while. Very moorish! The cooking time is approx. I gave it another 10 minutes as it seemed very soft in the centre. It will harden a bit while cooling down."
