I have the original bake off cookbook that this recipe appeared in and have been baking these for years. So easy and delicious. I like to use snickers since they already have nuts in them and Rice Krispies cereal for a little crunch on top.

Try either a Snickers or Baby Ruth candy bar.

I made these last night and they were a big hit. The kids loved them! I omitted the nuts because we don't care for them and they were still great.

These are super easy to make and very, very good! I saw this recipe and made them for my family first. I feel confident enough to make these for a potluck. Very good!!!
