While completely ignoring the lighting inconsistency of these photos (I’m really very embarrassed – damn clouds coming and going!), dream about the title – the name – the luscious ingredients…then bake…then consume.

After baking these cookies a few months ago, I had SEVERAL requests for MORE. People were literally, Craving4More! 😉
And, contrary to my photography skills for this round, but consistent with my personality, I refuse to make the exact same time twice.
Thus, rather than cookies – recipients enjoyed cookie BARS this time!
Same ingredients. Same taste. Slightly different shape!

A unique combination of salted caramel walnut butter and dark chocolate chunks create a sweet and salty sensation of a cookie that will leave you CRAVING4MORE.
