These tasted good but they were too gooey and they stayed wet. I baked them longer than stated but were wet in the middle. I took another reviewers tip about adding the chocolate chips and melting them and spreading into a layer of chocolate on the top. I used dark chocolate and that was the best part of these bars. Wouldn't make these again, I'd stick to the original dream bars as these were a little disappointing. My husband wasn't impressed and felt there was an error in the recipe due to the middle being too gooey no matter how long they were baked and then refrigerated.

Absolutely to die for! Very rich but MINNESOTA NICE:-) I sprinkled about 1 & 1/2 cups chocolate chips over top upon removal from oven and then spread very gently after they melted. Refrigerated 10 minutes to set the chocolate.

So quick and easy...and absolutely DELICIOUS !! Took them to a family get together and everyone loved them and requested the recipe. My husband only got 1 bite of mine and when he went to get one of his own they were all gone so had to make another batch when we got home. definitely a keeper, just know now to take copies of recipe with me if I take them anywhere, LOL. Might try adding mini chocolate chips next time..think that would be good too.
