Great rich, chocolaty indulgence. Cut them small and served them at a tea I hosted. They were a huge hit! They'll stay in my MasterCook "favorites". Thanks for the recipe.

These are amazing. I know I've gained at least 5 pounds from them but it's worth it!

Made these wonderful bars for my conversational English class last week and they went down a treat. I had to explain to my students that they WEREN'T brownies. :-) Subbed walnuts for the pecans. Yummy, chocolatey and sweet!

This is one of those recipes that is to die for. I finally had to put them in a container and take to my dad's computer, otherwise I would have eaten the whole thing. That would not be good for my blood sugar either.
