Thought it was a little too sweet, the crust was good, but the topping was a little too hard - it didn't form into coarse crumbs - maybe a little oats would of helped. Otherwise it was good.
Fruit & Chocolate Dream Bars

Carolyn Jackson from Florida

Excellent in spite of my error using semi-sweet morsels. I know that using milk chocolate would give it a different if not better taste.
Awesome

LaRee Welch from Puyallup, WA

Potluck Raves

suzanne taylor from Anchorage, AK

I took a double recipe of fruit and chocolate dream bars to a church potluck. People kept asking who made them and wanting the recipe. While some of the salad I took was left over, not one of the dream bars came home. I'll have to bake another batch!

I made this recipe for the first time for a family reunion. Most of the people liked it. I thought it was good, but the crust is a little different. Overall, I think it is a good potluck recipe.

It must be good!

June Nirschl from Baileys Harbor, WI

Made and frozen in advance to have available for visitors staying several days, the bars were an absolute hit. Everyone of the four households that sampled the bars asked for the recipe, which I easily forwarded from my Nestle recipe box.

Fruit and Chocolate Dream Bars

Patricia Lemire from Latham, NY

These are excellent. I cut the bars a bit larger and topped each with a small dollop of whipped topping and a strawberry (I made them with the strawberry jam). It made an elegant looking dessert with hardly any effort.

Great Snack!

Phylis Wildman from Quincy, IL

This is a quick and easy snack to prepare.
too much chocolate

Lisa Belliston from Athens, GA

These bar cookies get great reviews, but do not use the suggested amount of chocolate. It is too much and smears all of the top of the cookie (doesn't look like the picture!) Also, make sure and use jam and not ice cream topping (that is too thin.)
Amazing

Maria Nunya from Miami, FL

This recipe was absolutely wonderful. my entire family loved them! :)
Aroma therapy

Incredibly delicious

Stephanie Tyson from Marlboro, NJ

I absolutely loved the taste of these! The girls at work want the recipe. I used preserves instead of jam and they tasted great. The pecans really bring out the flavor.
Delicious!

Tanya Smith from Mountainside, NJ

I made these bars for a baby shower at work. They are very good the only thing is they are a little messy getting out of the pan after they have cooled. But received rave reviews! The only thing is I substituted walnuts for the pecans.
Fruity Chocolate Bars

This is a good basic recipe. I used apricot preserves instead of raspberry. Can also imagine using cherry. This cut nicely and were well received by the hungry office staff.
