No frosting needed..... I also subbed butterscotch chips and added cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg.... And walnuts..... I know, i know but it was delicilus!!!!!
Fantastic Fall recipe! This goodie is moist and has that wonderful spice apple flavor. The cream cheese frosting pairs perfectly! Loved this bar!
This is my husbands favorite!
I made these bars with half cinnamon chips and half white chocolate chips - still added a half teaspoon of cinnamon. I also just put a white fluffy canned frosting on instead of cream cheese frosting. Everyone loved them!
Very rich and delicious. You can skip the cream cheese frosting or 1/2 it because it doesn't need it.
