I've always been a half-day kindergarten fan. A whole day is long for a five year old.

For holidays, I'll make these without nuts because we have a few nut allergies in the family, so why tempt fate? I was also thinking that if I have apple pie filling (like to cut up an extra apple or two when making crisp or pie) that could be used in place of the chocolate and nuts... to make apple pie/caramel bars. And I found out that baking these in my glass Pyrex pan, they came out better than in the dark metal pan. The dark metal cooked the bottom too quickly, so it was harder instead of being chewy, and in the glass pan, they came out perfectly chewy!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-15855023279429459362015-09-19T06:45:27.039-04:002015-09-19T06:45:27.039-04:00I missed Thursday, it was pumpkin picking day here...I missed Thursday, it was pumpkin picking day here and I forgot to come to the cafe!

For some reason I only make bars at Christmas time. Don't know why. I wonder if it would taste as good without the walnuts? I have a few nut allergy people in my life. Wonder if I could substitute something else. I'll still make the original recipe for the rest of us though. Yum.<br /><br />And so loved Refuge of the Heart, Ruthy. A book that incites change for sure.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
