I made these bars for dessert while my husband was finishing making dinner, and they are quick, easy and delicious. I will always have the ingredients on hand from now on for this great recipe. Thank you! -
I just wanted everyone to know that these are fabulous and when you make them you ask yourself why you don't keep these ingredients on hand for that last minute dessert! I thought you should also know that I tried to reduce the fat by using applesauce instead of oil and fat free sweetened condensed milk with GREAT results. I realize these changes do not make this a low calorie or low fat bar, but I do feel better about it!! Thanks! KCShell -
WOW, are these ever good! Delicious fudge surrounded by tender peanut butter cookie in a square! I cut them small because they are so rich and ended up getting 40 squares. I didn't have a cake mix, so I used <a href="/182515">Cake Mix</a> and it worked fine. I have a nonstick pan that tends to bake quickly, so I didn't bake the bottom for the 10 minutes first. Thanks for posting this, I know I'll be making it again.

Although I love to cook and bake, I'm MOST passionate about my family. Thirteen years ago, I married my best friend, and I believe we love each other more now than ever. We have three (of course, beautiful) children ages 7, 4 and 2 years old. We live in a small town (at almost 7,000 feet in altitude), and are happy to report that we live over 100 miles (one way) from the nearest WALMART! :)
<br>
<br>Besides keeping my family and friends well-fed :), I love to read and scrapbook. Our area is very well-suited to outdoor activities, so our family enjoys brisk, long walks or hikes, as well as challenging bike rides through our hilly terrain. (After bearing 3 children - and ESPECIALLY after locating this FABULOUS website - I think I'll have to make a determined effort to concentrate more on the exercise!) ;)
