  1. Thank you so much!!!! For creating this blogspot. I had the exact same problem - I wanted to save many of the recipes I saw on Facebook, but didn't want to "share" them in order to save them. I thought about doing what you've done, but didn't want to fool with it, lol. So, once again, THANK YOU so much for doing what I've been to lazy to do. Now, I can just PIN IT from your page :). You're great!

  2. I made these bars a couple of weeks ago and they are FANTASTIC! I didn't add the peanuts because my husband doesn't like chewing on hard things but I honestly don't think the peanuts are needed! I've made them for him a few times since and also made them for my brother who's serving in Afghanistan, he received them yesterday and they devoured them-already have a request for a triple batch! Thanks for sharing!!
