Notes
Marsha Leavitt brought these to Grandpa's 90th birthday for a gift. They are very good.
She added this note:
I use a silicone mold to make them into bars. They stay together much better that way. I still press them in again after baking. Then cool completely.
Bonus suggestion: A few chocolate chips on the top when they come out of the oven will melt and you can frost them with chocolate.
