These get 5 stars for how different they are apart from the normal choco-chip cookie bar. The only deviance I made to your recipe was using milk choco-chip/p.b.chip swirls. Didn't have plain milk choco-chips and so this worked just as well. I"m sure any type of chip used would be fine depending on how sweet you like the bars. Thanks for a keeper/winner Reds. Made for 123Hitwonders~

I have made this several times, and we have never been able to wait until they are completely cooled, LOL! I brought these to my husband's workplace and they were gobbled up!

These were great. DD and I made these together and everyone loved them. I used light butter and we used our hands (floured) to press the bottom layer in the pan. I used one cup of chips and about a 1/2 c of pecans in the second layer.
