Melissa's Payday Bars

By

For as much as I love chocolate, you might be surprised to hear that one of my favorite candies has absolutely no chocolate in it--I love Paydays! I love the combination of the salty nuts and the sweet caramel candy surrounding them. When I saw this recipe for Payday bars, I knew I had to try them. I was really impressed with these and I find myself grabbing one every time I open the fridge--yes, they are that good!

COMMENT:

I made these and they were amazing! Tasted just like a payday candy bar. But I had trouble with them being sticky. I cut them into bars and wrapped them in plastic wrap and they stuck to the wrap. Did yours come out sticky? (MELISSA'S REPLY: Yes, mine were quite sticky as well. If you store them in the fridge, that definitely helps!)
