Fantastic! I've used this recipe for years with rave reviews. My family and friends call these Gooey Bars. They asked for them so much that some people think it's the only dessert I know how to make!

Ooey, gooey, rich & chewy! These were easy to make, and not so easy to stay out of.

This is so good and rich, rich, rich! My family loved this bar. It is so moist and gooey. Thanks, NurseDi.

I told my diabetic husband not to even breath near these bars. They are sooo, sooo bad, but soooo, soooo good! Kind of reminds me of seven layer bars but not as overtly sweet. Delish!
