These were good, but I think next time I may try using Dove chocolate to make these and see if the milk chocolate makes a difference. Megan

Delicious and easy too! The mixture for the crust and crumb topping was one of the nicest I've ever used (I'm going to steal this for use in other squares!). I had to make a few subs in the filling to match what I had available, cashews instead of walnuts and coffee cream instead of evaporated milk but otherwise kept the measurements the same. I cheated and used the microwave on the filling -- 2 minutes on high and then a really good stirring, worked great. The filling turned out really creamy and richly chocolate. Thanks for posting this, Kittencal.
