Hello Moms, Dads, Fellow Burlington Friends ::
Anyone else feeling the March entrapment? Where you feel like a fool for thinking spring has sprung from ONE forty degree day? We all should know better by now when that happens … snow is still possible. twenty degrees is still possible. a mild case of depression is inevitable.
For me, this is a time that calls for nothing more than flat out sweet goods, merely to take the edge off. The recipe I plan to share today may be an oldie but goodie in your book but for me it was MY VERY FIRST TIME making these bars of greatness.
The steps are simple and the outcome is outrageous. It is perfectly paired with small children, a Friday night, a good movie, and a cozy fire. And I guess we will put the homemade ice cream sandwiches on the back burner for now…
