I've made these bars several times, and they're always a hit. I used 1 cup of chocolate morsels instead of 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chunks, and, for me, the bars had the perfect ratio of nuts to chocolate. I do cut them on the small side as they're very rich.

Haven't made these yet, but there is no way the serving size/amount is correct. No 13x9 pan will yield that much! I'd think it would make about 24 bars. Can anyone verify how much they made?

I always chill the bars first to make them easier to cut. I also started making them in my Pampered Chef bar pan. Makes clean up super easy! My daughter loves these!!!

If you have pecan pie lovers this is something you should add to your bad of tricks! It disappears fast.

I didn't have the pecans in the pantry and substituted raisins instead. Good, rich but they certainly provide a fix for the "sweet craving".

Although I thought these ok my family thought they were too heavy on the chocolate. These are very rich.

I actually replaced the chocolate chunks with 1 cup of butterscotch chips and it was wonderful!

Does this recipe really yeild 6 dozen? So these are essentially bit size pieces that are 88 calories a piece? The picture seems like the serving size is much bigger.
