You know, sometimes I regret being so stupid as not to think of looking for
the bars by name in a recipe search. I just assumed that it was a made-up
name for the contents. What a dummy. But then I wouldn't have gotten all
the great replies and recipes. Thanks for you help.

Thanks again for posting this. I made them over the weekend and they
are delicious. Mine aren't as pretty and the picture is a little
fuzzy but here's how they came out.

I figured that out already. When I took that picture I ate that bar
and another one for breakfast. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but
I sure like these.
