Sweet, salty, chewy and sensational, these moist bars are pretty, very rich and finger-lickin’ good. —Margaret Wilson, Sun City, California

These were tasty however mine came out very, very gooey. I baked them as directed by the recipe but I don't think they really ever set up. I like all the flavors together, but am disappointed that they seemed very under-baked. They don't look that runny in the photo so I'm assuming they're not supposed to be. I may try to make them one more time and bake them even longer and just hope they firm up more but don't burn!

These were good, but over the top sweet for me. I think it was the butterscotch chips that threw it over the edge for me. I'd prefer to just make Hello Dolly's. I like them a lot more.

These are great! My husband loved them and I am making the second batch in one week. I thought they might be too gooey when they came out of the oven, but after they cooled they were firmer and they disappeared in a wink!

These were good but a little too sweet and gooey. I cooked them for the full 35 minutes after pre-baking the crust for 15 minutes and the crust was still pretty gooey in the middle. The end bars were pretty good, but I still prefer using the graham cracker crust over cake mix, like in the magic 7 layer bars. My husband said he wished you could taste the pretzels more. Good, but probably would just make the 7 layer Carnation bars instead.

These were FABULOUS!!! I got nothing but compliments on them! The only thing different I did was use crushed graham cracker instead of the crushed pretzels. This recipe is an absolute must keep!!!!

Can I give it six stars? SO good! I can already see I will have to make one or two more batches of this one for the holiday season.
