These bars were very good. They were moist and not overly sweet even after adding the two cups of sugar. I didn't change anything in the recipe. They were done about 5 minutes before the recipe said but could have just been my oven. I did notice even after spraying my pan with cooking spray they did stick to tha bottom of the pan. Perhaps greasing the pan and flouring it would help. I will try that next time. I will make again.

Is he allergic to peanuts or ALL nuts? I'm allergic to peanuts also, but can have pecans and walnuts. If he can normally eat Milky Way candy bars, you could substitute those. Then, add nuts (or not) depending on the extent of his allergy. Just BE CAREFUL...if trace amounts make him react, don't use any candy bar - they are all made in the same factory. You could make the ingredients yourself though! Good luck!
