these are great! because of the comments i added another tablespoon of butter to the cookies and used the suggestion about adding more chocolate to the milk. they came out great, not crumbly at all. because of the warm weather, we put them in the freezer & they were a wonderful, cold & fudgy treat!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"08\/18\/2010 20:06","GUID":"6028ba14aa074ec7993514798648fac1","MemberId":5321269,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"jbeasley1","SubmittedDate":"08\/18\/2010 20:06"},{"Comment":"
Delicious and beautiful! I only baked the bars for 8 minutes and already my mini chocolate chips were starting to sink in, so I would suggest lessening the baking time. Otherwise, no complaints!<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/11\/2010 19:24","GUID":"9f884039e4e44f328c2b90d9c2bd5f56","MemberId":3941312,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sammy12384","SubmittedDate":"08\/11\/2010 19:24"},{"Comment":"

What I did to firm up the bars was to increase the chocolate amount combined with the milk-instead of 1 cup chocolate I used 1 1\/2 to 2 cups. They are wonderful!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"","GUID":"C5C8E1CAE658470C80068A854F2EF9DD","MemberId":3559275,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"kimmycook","SubmittedDate":"11\/09\/2008 20:13"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"09\/09\/2008 13:27","GUID":"e7c834f9470646d48a394dc1d47e2ee5","MemberId":2244641,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lokie64","SubmittedDate":"09\/09\/2008 13:27"},{"Comment":"
