Great recipe! Added a little raw sugar to top before baking... delicious!
Incredibly delicious! I used 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla for extra flavor, which worked well. I cut the bars while they were still warm ( following another recipe) and removed them from the pan when they were fully cooled down. They came out of the pan easily. These are scrumptious, and very rich. It might make sense to cut bars into smaller portions.
