5 chocolate bar recipes

Very, very good. I used 1/2 semi sweet and 1/2 bittersweet - more of a sophisticated flavor. It was yummy. Stick to the milk chocolate or semi-sweet for the kids though. Besides a variety of fruit, I bought those little creme puffs in the freezer section - they were delicious dipped in the chocolate!

Chocolate pecan bars with a buttery cinnamon shortbread crust and a gooey brown sugar-chocolate topping. Dusted with powdered sugar and cut into squares.

This quick and easy snack is perfect for the kids to take to school or have after dinner.

Gooey butter pecan bars layered with melted marshmallows, chocolate chips, and coconut on a cake mix crust. A 5-minute prep, no-fuss dessert bar that disappears at every potluck and bake sale.
