These bars are awesome in flavour! I just had a bit of trouble with the building of the bars. My 9 inch pan wasn't nearly big enough & the 9X13 pan was a little too large. My hubby complained that there was too much chocolate and I think that half the chocolate would have still been plenty. Very unique & tasty!
