"My husband's co-workers always love my desserts," says Brenda Melancon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, "especially the cookies and bars. So when I decided to enter this contest, I used them as my 'guinea pigs.' They nominated these bars for their unique flavor...and all asked for the recipe! Believe it or not, most of them are men."

I had some trouble finding macadamia nuts, but I was able to substitute them with chopped walnuts. The dessert still turned out great!

I thought this recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
