These are very sweet. They're like a praline in a cookie form. I adjusted the recipe slightly but I think it made a big difference. First off, always toast nuts before you bake them into a dough. Second, brown the butter. You're already melting it anyway! And third, add about a half tsp. of salt. That's a no brainier.

Well, the name "Brown Sugar Chewies" says it all. They taste just like brown sugar. I'm giving this 4 stars not because I was crazy about these bars, but because they were easy to throw together last-minute and because I think this could be a great basic recipe to add something to. I'll have to do some experimenting.
