Fruit Chocolate Dream Bars

These are so quick and easy to make and the result is awesome. they are especially good when you need something sweet...fast. this comes from a nestle cookbook. i have made it several times and it is always perfect. i have yet to make this recipe with the pecans. seems i never have them on hand. but they're great without them anyway.
