O'HENRY BARS
There are a few other recipes for this bar on this site, but none are quite like this. My mom came to visit with this recipe that she had clipped from the Washington Post. Really really wonderful. I found them addicting, actually. So much so that I had to send the rest to my husband's work! We used peanut butter made from honey roasted peanuts, though regular works fine too. Cooking time is cooling time.

O'HENRY RICE KRISPIE BARS
These are a Christmas staple in my house. I remember standing on a chair and making these with my mother when I was probably 5 or 6. They're easy, yummy, and keep well for an extended period of time. They also freeze well. Prep time is set up time, Cook time is how long it takes to get the mixture in the pan. (I live at high altitude, this will be slightly shorter at lower altitudes)

O' HENRY BARS
I found this recipe from a friend when I was in college. She said her aunt gave it to her for her hope chest recipe book. I don't think people do "hope chests" anymore, but this recipe won't ever become obsolete because it is yummy! Make sure you don't over bake the crust! I have done it a few times and had to start again because it got too hard and crispy. My sisters have all asked for this recipe. They make it for baby showers and parties.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your bars. Use fresh butter, eggs, and flour, and high-quality chocolate chips and nuts.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the Bars Until Golden Brown: The bars are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the Bars Cool Completely: Before cutting and serving the bars, let them cool completely. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.
