I made these for my son-in-law who said they were very good. I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because they were so difficult to cut out of the pan. I let them cool but they were still too soft to cut out of the pan so I put them in the fridge. The next day I felt as if I needed a chisel to get them out. My arm was sore from sawing away at them with a sharp knife but after 30 minutes of this, I succeeded. This is an extremely easy recipe but I would grease the pan first next time.
