Excellent bars Mean Chef (as all of your other recipes!). This is similar to a chocolate chip cookie but shaped in a bar. I added some butterscotch chips in with the chocolate. Mine only took 25 minutes to bake in my air-convection oven. They were delicious! Thank you for sharing another winner!...Kittencal:)Reply
