I made this for a meeting and also made "adult" brownies and cookies. I subbed the chocolate chips with m&m's. I figured these might be a bit childish and I would bring it home to my kids. Well, hardly anything else was touched and I only brought back a few pieces of this. It was a big hit and my kids loved it too!

Not exactly what I was looking for, but a good start & tastes yummy! I omitted the chocolate, vanilla (my corn syrup had vanilla in it), and peanuts/raisins. The result was very good, but of course, didn't quite fill the 9 by 13 pan after leaving out the nuts. It tastes just like what my mom used to make, so now I just need to adjust the amounts to make a whole pan, instead of just 3/4! Doubling the recipe would probably be perfect for my 10 by 15 pan. Thanks!

Really yummmmy, but I found it just a little too sweet for my liking. I halved the recipe and used roasted, shelled peanuts and homemade salted peanut butter. These bars taste a lot like something that we call "chikki" here, which is a candy made mostly of peanuts and jaggery... something like peanut brittle. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar, and add some more chocolate chips.
