I made these this weekend and they were great! I did not have enough sugar so I added a half of a cup of brown sugar and they still tasted good!

I will second that WOW. I made these over the weekend for a supper with family, and used half whole wheat flour, half white flour. It was amazing how delicious they were, and how many bars the recipe made! I am now making them as a cake this weekend for my son’s first birthday party. YUM!

WOW.

I first tried this recipe last fall, and I’ve come back to it 15 or 16 times since. It is a total HIT with my friends, families, and coworkers! I’ve been linking people to this recipe over and over again. They’re so moist and flavorful and delicious!

I split the batter into 2 9×13 cake pans so I could cover them and travel with them, and it worked great!

I can’t say enough about this recipe. People drool over these bars!!
