these are so sinful swimmin...so rich, gooey and boy you don't need too many bites of these and you'll have your sweet fix for the day. A great idea for the Christmas holiday trays. I would advise cutting into 1-2 inch squares at most. Refrigeration is a must too because of the creamcheese. A great decadent bar!!
