I made this for my co-workers for a Halloween luncheon and also for my boyfriends office, but I used about 1/4 cup more pretzels and a a bit more cashews and I cut smaller bars. These were a hit and very delicious! I would say addictive! YUMMY, will make again

I was disappointed. I was expecting more of a salty-sweet taste combination, because of the pretzels and sugar cookie. They are hard right out of the fridge so you do have to leave them out a bit before eating.

great bar, definitely popular- cut bars into smaller pieces than it states and add more chocolate :)

This is pretty easy to make and tastes terrific. After it is all done I would leave it on the counter. If you put it in the 'fridge, the chocolate gets really hard to cut. And make sure you don't forget to grease the pan (I used a 9x13 glass), because the cookie dough really does stick!
