I randomly came across this recipe and decided to try thesebars out. I would make them again but in a cookie form rather than a bar, they were good. When I did come across these I thought of my grandmother; sinceI knew I would be seeing her this weekend I whipped them up since I hadeverything I needed already in my house. J A nice little light dessert that was really easy andquick to whip up.
