Stinkin’ good dessert bars

I made these bars for snack time after our church bible study group last night. They were really yummy and came from the Kraft Food and Family magazine. You can get this magazine free: click here. We have really enjoyed it- lots of good recipes (including Kraft products, of course). I used a double boiler instead of the microwave. Also, I couldn’t get it to spread enough to cover the whole pan- I think an 8×8 would have been better.
