Pour batter into pan.  Bake 35 - 40 minutes until toothpick inserted has moist crumbs on it.  Let cool and cut into squares.  Serves 24.

**I did not add the nuts. 

Our Review:  These tasted like very yummy chocolate chip cookie bars to us.  Ours were a little over done but that was b/c of our oven...they were still all gone within about a day and half!!!
