I thought that this was going to be fun until after following everything to a tee, the consistency was all wrong. It stayed mushy and I had no idea what I had done wrong. I thought it was just me, but I had me friend duplicate the same thing (sent her the recipe) and she too, got the same mushy affect. Boo!

Would not make this again.
When I got to the step of cutting the bars, the cherry part was mushy and didn't keep its form. I had to throw it all away. I have no idea what I did wrong. I followed the recipe and the instructions.

I couldn't find the cherry chips, but I got into my candy supplies and found red vanilla flavored chips and added cherry flavoring to them! PERFECT!!

Great and have made them twice! Reminded me of what my mom made for Christmas every year. Tastes better than the actual Bing Candybar!
