Awesome recipe, you can't eat just one! I totally disagree with the reviewer who said to omit the candy corn, though we did decide for appearance we would not mix in the candy corn, but put the candy corn on top as a decoration for each bar, presentation is nice.

Wonderful recipe, reminded me of a dessert at the college cafeteria. I used to make this all the time but I lost the recipe. I would definately omit the candy corns. but you can also use cashews. but this recipe is really good. fit it to your liking. I also used 1/2 c. brown sugar instead of 1/4 c. white and a 1/4 c. brown.
