These were really hard to get out of the pan and they were not that great. I feel bad but I didn't find anyone at my house that went for seconds. I appreciate all the others who have made and enjoyed them. -

These bars are yummy and easy to make! (-: -
These are really wonderful! At the time I made them, the ingredients listed "14 cups" of butter! I didn't quite believe it, so I guessed at 1/4 cup butter. Not sure if the butter ratio was correct or not, but the pan would have definitely benefitted from greasing, as it was a trick to get them out of the pan! Thanks, SaraBeelle9475! Made for PAC Spring '09. -
These bars are great. My DH doesn't like nuts in anything but loved these. I took some to work and they were gone before i put then on the table. Definate keeper. Great flavor and nice texture. I did add more nuts wanted to use the whole bag. Thanks for the post.

Well I should start off by telling you that i would have no idea what this website would be without my Nana AKA 'Julie B's Hive' telling me about it. I guess you could say I've inherited her joy for being in the kitchen and and also the excitement of other people enjoying what I can conjure up.
Cooking in the oven comes more naturally to me then on the stove top, although I'm trying to become better at it but it doesn't usually seem to work out. I love to try using new foods in things I make but usually find myself sticking to the everyday ordinary 'stuff' because I'm more accustomed to it.
My father is a wonderful cook and an even better BBQer. we usually have what we call a winter BBQ when he gets to go freeze so we can have something to tie us over until summer when we gather at my Nana's to have our family get together's.. even though most of the neighborhood kids end up there as well :P my sister is also amazing when it comes to food. when i need help with anything if Justus cant fix it I ask Nana, and if Nana can't, it's hopeless lol
