I loved these and so did my husband and my co-workers. The batter was thick, but if you spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray and use that to spread the batter, it's much easier. I also lined my pan with foil completely, then a layer of parchment paper. I was able to lift out the foil and allow the bars to cool with virtually no clean up of the pan needed! Definitely making them again!

The batter is way to thick and sticky and almost impossible to spread. I wouldn't make it again because of the frusteration. They don't taste bad but they are nothing special and I would not make them again.

I was expecting these to be super easy to make, but instead they caused much frustration because the batter was so hard to spread. They tasted okay, but nothing special.

When I made these they turned out more like a cake than a "bar"...they were super delicious and favorite of friends&family! Easy to make!!

The batter was extremely sticky and difficult to spread into the bottom of the pan. The melted caramel from the Rolos made them like cemented to the pan.

The batter was very sticky and mine stuck to the pan even though I sprayed it with cooking spray, but they do taste good!
