* I thought that these were pretty good I thought that 18 candy bars was a lot so I only used 12 but then when we tried the cookies I realized that you do need all 18 bars so don't be shy lol They stayed soft and chewy a few days and were simple to make I give them a 4. They were great heated up in the microwave a few sec so the chocolate was all melted.
