Should have read the reviews. They baking time is way too long. Should be 25 minutes. They are a little too greasy from so much butter. This was disappointing not only for the way they came out, but because the ingrients where waisted. Annoying. Not everything Martha does is perfect.

I wish recipes that turn out to be cake would not advertise themselves as "bars" and include a pic that makes them look dense and chewy. Spent a good hour and a half at least on this and I don't even want it.

So great! Although the bake time is less than it says, (20 minutes is perfect) they taste amazing. Will definitely bake again!

DON'T prepare this recipe as directed-or at all!!! Flour should be about 2 cups not 4, and bake time should be about 20 minutes, not 40-45 minutes! Can't understand why MS staff has not corrected it after so many negative reviews. Too bad I didn't read them first, now I'm out about $7 in ingredients, and have to head to the store again. Thanks a lot, Martha.

Made these for a work event, awful so dry - not a good thing!

Batch #2. Made in 13x17" sheet/pan. Again, mixture seemed dry, so I increased to 3 eggs. Baked 25 minutes and done perfectly!

I read through all the comments before baking these. Batch #1. Made in a 9x13 glass pan. The mixture was VERY dry, so I added an extra egg. Baked for nearly 50 minutes at 350 and they still didn't get done in the center. (I had to cover lightly with aluminum foil at the 25 minute mark as the edges were getting brown already. Sides rose to a nice 2", but 1" into the pan everything collapsed after cooling. FAILED attempt.

I baked this in a 9 by 13 glass pan for 32 minutes and it was perfect! It was an instant hit.

I wish I had read the reviews before I made these !!! I left them in for 35 minutes and they were so dry and brittle, I needed to make 10 dozen for work. What a waste of time and ingredients

Do NOT cook for 40 minutes. I made the mistake of doing that and they needed up burnt. Cook 25-30 minutes and then check them
