These are sooooo delish and very easy to make. Will be making these again and again. Thank you, Miss Brown!
Miss Brown these are the best chewies I have ever ate. I cannot believe it. I’ve been the biggest fan of yours from the day you started on TV and I will continue watching you. I would love to meet you one day before I take to the sky I love Charleston South Carolina And I hope I get to go back there again one day. I am 75 years old and I enjoy all your cooking honey. God bless you and thank you for being on there.
Turned out great!! Will make again
Always a treat!!
These are the best! Like a praline in a bar. So easy, with ingredients most people have in their pantry. I quadrupled (yes, 4X!) this recipe to take to a party. They were GONE!❤️
Made as written as I love almond and vanilla extract in baked goods. Unfortunately for me these were excruciatingly sweet! I love sugar but these seemed overly sweet to me, may try with 1/2 the brown sugar next time. flavor was good , just too sweet.
These were very good and I made the recipe as is. What impressed me more than taste was how simple it was to make.
hate almond extract…used 1/2 tsp bourbon along with the vanilla
chopped walnuts
1/2 cp heath bar pieces

Which is correct, 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of each extract? The show/video is different than the recipe.
