SO RICH AND YUMMY!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were really easy and good. They are very rich so a little goes along way, thats why I think they are great at potlucks... and get togethers. I did have to use a little more of the grahm cracker and butter mixture, but not by much. Turned out very good. Read more

Great Recipe, Confusing Directions
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was searching for a good treat to bring for a casual family party and this was it! However, it did take a little digging to... understand the directions. On first read, I wondered what "Five Layer Bar Mix" was. I don't remember seeing that at the store! Thanks to clues from reviews and the title of the episode this came from: "Delicious Gifts," it's obvious now what what you can skip from the instructions! Read more

One of the most delicious desserts ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Everyone who has ever tasted one of these things has raved about them. They are so easy to make and taste delicious. My... mother, who hates coconut, keeps asking me when I'm going to be making these again. This is the perfect dessert to bring along to a party or function, a little goes a long way, as these bars are super concentrated in flavor and richness. FIVE STARS!Read more

Disappearing Five Layer Bars
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love these bars, but they tend to disappear on me. I made a batch....gone. Made another batch the next day....gone. I'm... sure they will be showing up on my family's waistline. Thank you Paula Read more
