These bars are a great make-ahead snack. I made them for a potluck and they were a huge hit.

I love how customizable these bars are. I added some chopped nuts and dried fruit to mine and they were amazing!

These bars were a bit too messy to eat, but they were still delicious. I would recommend using a fork to eat them.

I'm not a big fan of caramel corn, but I loved these bars. The chocolate and peanuts balance out the sweetness of the caramel perfectly.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would cut back on the sugar next time.
