This is a great recipe. I love it, my family loves it. though I could not find cherry chips I replaced them with mint chips in one batch and peanut butter chips in another batch. Both turned out super good.

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.
