These are delicious and easy to make! A couple of notes: if you don't have a double boiler, I recommend a makeshift one with a metal bowl and a saucepan of simmering water. Melting butter in the microwave is never the same. And more importantly, I recommend lining the pan with foil, with a little extra at the ends, then using those to lift the bars out of the pan after you've chilled them. This is much easier than greasing or oiling the pan, and won't affect flavor.

This was, quite simply, superb. I made the dish for a special occasion, and gave myself plenty of time to complete it, since I had read so many reviews that were critical of the time required. I think if you accept that it's time consuming right from the start, you'll be better able to appreciate it. I substituted shiitake mushrooms for crimini, because the crimini were unavailable, and I followed other suggestions to increase the amount of crab stuffing, using fresh (rather than canned) crab. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. My guests were astonished at the quality of the meal. I will make this again, when I have the time and a good reason. Thanks!
