Whitney's Monster Cookie Bars

The first time I tried these amazing tasty delights was when our church hosted a lot of bicyclists who came to town on Ragbrai.  An amazing friend somehow made batches and batches of these bars and they certainly were gobbled up!  Recently I was missing them (its easily been 3 years) and I asked her for the recipe.  I made them over Labor Day weekend when we went camping with friends, a week later for small group, and four days later when we went to a friend's house for dinner!  Yep- three times in a matter of weeks!   They are that good.  Warning- only make these if you have people to share them with!

Enjoy!
