We sold tempting bars almost like these at the refreshment stand at the Minnesota state park where I worked in the '70's, and they were a favorite of employees and visitors alike. Now I make this recipe when I want to serve a special treat. -Phyllis Smith, Olympia, Washington

Not bad, but not amazing either. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra peanut butter next time.
