I love these bars! They aren't overly rich like some bars can be. The coffee flavor is subtle and the recipe wouldn't be near as good without it. For whatever reason, I needed to bake them for about 35 mins and they wanted to stick to the pan. Next time, I think I'll line the pan with parchment paper. Thanks for sharing this keeper recipe.

Well, I can say I can't give this a real fair review as I totally messed up the recipe by adding a full stick of butter.:-) So that's why the 5 stars:YUMMY: Maybe a blessing, maybe not. This is what happens when I'm attempting to make more than one recipe at a time. Anyway, these are heavenly little bars Sweety. I did not make the icing for the top and instead spinkled with a mixture of cinnamon/sugar. I didn't think it needed anymore fat grams!! Made for 123 HitWonders and March's CoffeePhoto Tag~

me and my friends just devoured this recipe. delicious! I now use the icing on lots of baked treats because it was really good, too.

This was good, I did increase the raisins to 1 cup and also added in 2 teaspoons vanilla, for the icing I used 18% table cream with powdered sugar and drizzled it on top of the bars instead of spreading, thanks for sharing Sweety!...Kitten:)
