"My mom gave me this recipe at Christmas when I wanted to make something different and yummy for gifts," notes Jennifer Sharp of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. "The chewy bars can be cut into larger pieces, but they're very rich," she adds.

They were good but really sweet. I think next time I'm only going to use half the frosting. It was just too much to me.

I have made this recipe before, it's pretty good, but I do change the frosting over for melted caramels mixed with some evaporated milk. I think it's much better.

this is a very good recipe. I took it to our Christmas department party and it was a hit. Coworkers asked for the recipe. One coworker wonders about the recipe at the top stating 36 servings but if you refrigerate it for 4 hours your yield will be 4 dozen. ???? but hey it is good!!
