Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing the recipe with us!

When I googled for a photo, there were a few photos of the bars topped with chocolate - do you ever do that?

Awesome recipe, I loved the way you explained the process on how to make it... so simple and step by step! I love it when cooks and bakers do that The simpler the better! I might give this a try! It sounds like a really nice dessert, sadly I can't eat things with a lot sugar now, but in a couple months I might.

This sounds really easy, and sounds tasty. I like that it uses brown sugar, since I appreciate the depth of flavor that brings to a recipe. I'll bet this would be really tasty with a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite thing about it is that I have all of the ingredients here at the house, so I wouldn't need to run out, or wait until I have time to go shopping, before making it.

I was actually wondering what they look like and when I googled bars, bars for drinking came up. Anyway, I did a more specific search and found these.

More like this, actually. I've never used chocolate on top, but imagine it would be extremely good.

Yum they look delicious! I'm wondering how I could adapt this to being gluten free - I think it could work quite well. What is the texture like?

Chewy top with biscuity bottom. Near as I can describe it!

I like what you presented far better than the one I found. I also prefer the texture you are describing. the other looked too sweet for my likings. Sometimes I am such a timid baker. As easy as this looks I fear I might foul up.

Believe me, I do NOT do complicated! My mainstays are these bars, the odd apple pie, sugar cookies and shortbread, padded out with Betty Crocker French Vanilla cake mix.
