These were the most scrumptious desserts I may have ever made. And I know this for a fact because after whipping up this batch just 3 days later I was asked to make another batch. (Mind you this tray will yield 36 bars easily!!)
Of course it's from Pinterest so I'm not even going to bother with the hype of it all - it's AMAZING just trust me. Let's do this!
