These are super easy to make, plus they were a hit. Already planning on making them for Thanksgiving. A friend thought they tasted like a "Payday" bar. Brought the leftovers to work and they were gone in minutes. I'm a big fan of cheap to make, easy to make, and tasty. This recipe is all three of those. Enjoy!

These were really good and very easy to make. I will be making them again. I tried to give this one 5 stars but it would not let me. A must to try.
