    OMG! The first time I had these Super Kahlua Bars at a friend's house I just had to try and make them at home. Thank God my mother-in-law had a recipe that I used as a starting point. Here is the end result!

    These Kahlua bars have a delicious chocolate graham cracker base with a Kahlua flavored filling topped with chocolate. These bars are very similar to my Canadian Nanaimo Bars but without the booze.

      I never ever leave coments. I was asked by family to find some new holiday reciepies. I have looked at 50 plus reciepies with alcohol in them. Your reciepe here was the only one that carried a clear warning as part of the printable reciepe. For that I wish to congratulate you and say thank you
