My family loved this!

Delicious! I got raves from some very particular relatives! The only change I will make next time is to add more butter to the first layer. It was too crumbly and separated from the rest of the bar. But I had no complaints. It was still yummy

This is a great recipe! Super easy. I didn't have enough peanuts and only had butterscotch chips, so I did the butterscotch with half peanuts and half pecans. Delicious! They are really chewy and crunchy at the same time.

These are really good. For the crust, just make sure that you mix the flour, brown sugar, butter together well. If need be, add the extra 1/4 stick of unused butter to make the crust more moist.

Mine didn't come out as pretty looking as the ones in the picture. However, they taste fabulous and remind me of the PayDay candy bar. Very good!
