Delicious! Brought these for a baby shower at work, and they were a hit. I loved how simple they were to make, and everyone commented on how nice it was that they aren't too sweet. Two minor changes: firstly, I doubled the recipe and made it in a 9x13 pan, and secondly, I didn't have any walnuts in the house, so I toasted and finely chopped some pecans for the crust instead. Other than that, made as written. This is definitely going into my bar cookie keeper file, thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2011.Reply
