  3. I used the listed amount of butter, melted down to mix in, and it was very very runny. I guess I should have used just somewhat softened butter so it had a thicker consistency?

    1. Melting the butter would yield a runnier bar. The butter is meant to be cut in to the dough, and should be no warmer than room temperature.

  4. I too did a double take when I saw the amount of butter. That is almost a pound of butter. I made them using 2 sticks of butter not the 3 1/2 sticks and they still came out amazing! Then I decided to do the math. Assuming you cut the bars into 12 squares, by using 2 sticks of butter you save 100 calories and 11 g fat per square.
