My grandmother used to make this on special occasions and all the grandchildren looked forward to it. We never had a name for it so the grandkids called it "Marcy" bars (after a combination of names of grandchildren, Mark and Tracey). Since her passing, I received her handwritten recipe and now make them for all family and neighborhood occasions. As others stated, I baked the bottom crust for about 8 minutes (or until slightly brown) and 1/2 up the recipe. I also microwave a jar of Mrs. Richardson's butterscotch caramel topping to soften and mixed with 2 TBLS of flour, add chips and then bake again. If you prefer less caramel, you can adjust to taste. Same with the layer of chocolate chips. I always make a 9 x 13 pan because they always go so quickly. I made these for my son's school theater program and they were the first to go (and I made 3 pans!!). So easy and so good. I may try this with using dried fruit, a little less caramel and whole wheat flour for a little healthier but still fun and sweet children's snack.
