Made 'em for the third time tonight -- a double batch. Family favorite, and easy. In my oven, 350 degrees and 6 minutes is just right.

This is a fantastic recipe, I also added 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/2 cup flaked coconut, with a mixture of dark, white and milk chocolate chips. The house smells divine. Thank you
