Best bars ever!!!! Everyone who has tried them wants the recipe. Have made twice now. They are time consuming, but sooo worth it. They are more like a dessert than a bar, very rich. Thank you so much for a great recipe. ( I also used Kraft caramels}.
This recipe is one of the best I have tried!!
P.S. I used Kraft caramels instead of Werthers cause I had some on hand. turned out great!
I made these bars and took them into work. Everyone wanted the recipe. These were one of the best bars I have ever tried. It takes a little time to prepare but are well worth the effort.
