These are called Buddha Bars as the first time I made them at my Mom's house there was an abundance of teenage males showing off how they could make their flat stomachs extend to unnatural proportions. Hence these cookies added to "the Buddha". They still do. Time for some sit-ups now... (Mimi - sorry that I couldn't find this recipe last year and had to guess. But it was pretty close I think)
