These bars made a nice addition to my finger food counter this past weekend, something I'll be making again, too! I did top them off with some chopped, toasted almonds & they were a big hit! Thanks for sharing this great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
