Comments
I have made this many times as well as friends and neighbors. The best candy bars to use are Snickers, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Rolo candy in equal proportions. Harder bars such as Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, etc. do not work well. Musketeers are good but use sparingly or the bars will come out too sweet (if there is such a thing).

I seperate my candy bars into 3 different piles and sprinkle each one over the base seperately; this way the different bars are equally spread out and you can taste all the flavors in one square.

I also have an excellent recipe for Snickers Surprise Cookies whereby you wrap a heaping T of dough around a mini Snicker Bar - they are excellent but it is a popular recipe on the internet. I can e-mail it if anyone wants it.
