sorry, this was way too sweet and chocolatey, if that is possible, even my kids didn't like it and they are chocolate fiends. Won't make again. Vanessa

I had been looking for this recipe ever since I saw it on Nigella's show. The bars are really easy to make. I didn't have the marshmallows at hand so I left them out of the recipe, and I replaced half of the digestive biscuits with equal volume of oats. They turned out quite good! Thanks Dr Gaellon!
