    Bar Recipes

    The only thing better than a cookie are brownies and dessert bars. It’s cheesecake, pie, or cobbler made into something you can eat with your fingers. I've compiled a group of brownie and bar recipes with a variety of flavors.

    For brownie recipes, start with a classic fudge brownie that’s the perfect combination of chocolate and cocoa powder. But for those occasions when you want a little more, try adding raspberries and cream cheese, or cookie dough or pretzels. Leave out the chocolate all together for buttery blondies, maybe with sprinkles or white chocolate.

    Fruit dessert bars are the best, with a shortbread crust like you’ll find in dried apricot bars, or apple pie bars. Add some lemon and pistachios or cherry jam for a delicious dessert.

    With all these to choose from, I hope you can find just what you’re searching for.
