Dessert Bars and Squares
Bars, also called "squares" or "bar cookies" are a popular dessert or treat. Denser than cake but softer than cookies and sweeter than bread. Usually baked in a square or rectangular pan. Great for picnics, school parties, or taking to the office. Very versatile as you can see by the thousands of recipes we have!
Rice Krispie Bars
These treats bring back such fond memories for me! Growing up we typically had the basic recipe of marshmallows and cereal but once I ventured out on my own I made a few different varieties. Brent particularly loves the chocolate peanut butter versions but my new favorite is the caramel krispie bars. We have over 80 recipes - what's your favorite?
Nanaimo Bars
This popular bar cookie from Canada has a graham cracker or wafer crust and is covered in chocolate. It can have a variety of fillings but the traditional flavor is a custard filling. Try an "official" recipe or one of the variations like cranberry, cherry almond, or orange.
Pecan Pie Squares
Do you love pecan pie? Well, then you'll also love these pecan pie bars! It's all the flavors you expect but in a simple bar. Great for picnics and potlucks
