"Always the first to go on my cookie tray this year. I thought they had a lot of flavors going on. Made half and used an 8x8 pan to bake."

"I increased the orange zest [using zest from 1 entire orange] & used mini chips! These bars were made primarily for an AA meeting my other half attends, but I managed to save 4 of them for us here at home, & they are VERY, VERY OUTSTANDING bars! Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!"

"These were wonderful! I used white and semi-sweet chocolate chips and actually preferred the semi-sweet because they offered a contrast in flavor to the sweetness of these bars.They are best served at room temperature and it is wonderful that the recipe makes so much because everyone loved them!"
