This looked like a recipe that would travel well, so I made it for a birthday gift and sent it (today) from HI to CA. I brought the extra bars into the office and got mixed reviews; some thought they were way too sweet, most thought they were very tasty! I used Pecans and also sprinkled some on top, hoping to cut some of the sweetness. Quick and easy to prepare and definitely worthy of gift-giving! Mahalo for posting!

These are outstanding. I double the recipe in a 9 X 13 pan. Increased baking time about 5 minutes. These also freeze well and can be made ahead of time and thawed to serve. Really easy and delicious!

Dee, these are so sinful! I made them for the Pick a Chef thread. My husband and I pigged out on them! We couldn't even wait for them to cool completely, which was ok, they're nice and gooey that way. Very easy to make, quick to cook, there isn't anything bad about these. Except not being able to stop eating them! Thanks!

Holy cow, Dee514, these are fabulous. A tasty treat that's like a cross between a cookie and brownie. I decided to leave out the chocolate chips because it seemd like they'd be rich enough without them (they were). I was about 1 oz short on butterscotch chips, so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips to make up the difference. My 8" square pan was in use, so I baked these in a 9" springform pan and got 12 wedges. The only bummer about this recipe? They're already half gone. Yum.
