comment from original poster: “These bars made a nice snack for the trip down to L.A.. The recipe came without directions on the oven temperature setting, so I estimated 375F. The bars were moist, sweet, chewy and enjoyed by all, but I would go with a shallower pan next time- 9 by 13 inches as directed rather than my 8×11, or up the temperature by 25F, or lengthen the baking time 5-10 minutes, etc., etc..”
