caramel cookie bars
I was working at Sears & Roebuck in Minot, North Dakota the first time I came upon these! They were on a Christmas goodie tray and have been an addition to mine Christmas trays ever since. Everyone loves them! They are similar to a Twix candy bar and delicious! You could also spread peanut butter over the graham cracker layer prior to the nut mixture if you prefer more of a Snickers taste. Makes a large sheet pans. Once cooled cut into whatever size you choose. I cut them and freeze them. Tasty straight out of freezer!
