I got this recipe from a friend a couple of years ago and she called them "Squamish Bars". They are delicious but you can certainly over-do it if you have too big a piece!
4/26/2012 09:28:49 PM Report AbuseI made these for a pot luck for seniors at my YMCA. I had 10 people that I'm aware of asking for the recipe. I'm sure when I take them in, there will be others. I cut them in smaller pieces. A little time consuming, but the praise is well worth the effort. Can't wait for my next family gathering!
