Mom’s Spice Bars Recipe
My mom was a great cook not because she was my mom, but honestly I cannot remember her making anything that was not good. She loves to cook and bake. The one thing that she claimed she could not make well was pies but when it came to her desserts like cakes, cookies and bars, they were so good. This recipe is one right out of moms recipe box and it was one of my favorite recipes growing up. In the midwest, I think bars are a staple item at church bazaars and dinner tables every where. I love them and I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. Now that I am sharing it, I need to make some… MMmm
