pay day bars
(4 ratings)
No matter what function I am attending this candy is always a hit. Our family reunion was no exception last year, as I made 4 batches of the recipe, and everyone loved it. It really does taste like the candy bar, and you get to take all of the praise, because they are so easy to make. The batch shown here is while they were cooling down, before they were cut into bar size logs.
