Hot Mama Notes: These bars are very sweet, but surprisingly good. My kids really liked them. I was surprised. I wasn't sure about the reception, but they really liked them. For me, 3 don't know if I would make them again, but they are so easy and the kids like them, so maybe I will! I used half butterscotch chips, and half chocolate chips (mix of milk and semisweet). I used pecans. I think I would decrease the coconut, but as I said, the kids liked it as is. I think I only used 1/4c butter by mistake, too. Oops!
