I swear every cookie exchange I've ever been to, these tasty lil' devils are the rave of the party! There are many versions of this spectacular layered bar floating around but this one is the best in my opinion. The crusty outer and the gooey center makes for a killer combination. Be careful - you can seriously wolf down about 10 of these if you're not careful. An easy finger dessert for any party!
