Was very good but I used 1 11.5 oz package of Milk Chocolate chips instead of the Hershey Bars. I used a medium pan and the candy did not fill up the pan but that was ok.

I LOVE heath bars...let me start with that. I had a few problems with this recipe. It didn't say what size baking sheet to use so I used my medium size one...should have used small as it didn't use all of the space. Next, all of the butter would not blend so I have a puddle of butter in the corner of my pan. It's kind of oily.Lastly,my chocolate won't get hard. It's still gooey and I made it 6 hours ago. I used parchment paper on my sheet to lift it off of the pan easily.I followed the recipe perfectly but it just didn't work for me. Thanks for the try.
