4 In small microwavable bowl, microwave whipping cream and food color uncovered on High about 30 seconds or just until boiling. Add butter and baking chips; stir until chips are melted. Spread mixture evenly over bars. Refrigerate about 1 1/2 hours or until chilled and firm.

Anyone that doesn't want the sugar cookie crust should try a yellow cake is with one egg and i stick of melted butter. That is the base for gooey butter cake that my husband's grandmother used to make. It is so good .

I made this last night, to bring into work today. I did not have the extract, or liqueur -but used 1 tablespoon orange jello from the pkg. That worked. The topping was another story, it didn't harden. Wish I would have simply used double chips with butter and jello powder again. But the bars themselves were heavnly.

I haven't made it yet, just wanted to suggest to the lady that her family doesn't like sugar cookies and wanting another idea for the crust...I would try graham cracker crust. Just a thought!!!
