Tips

Cake-like if made in 9x13 pan: adjust calories by how many pieces are cut.


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Mix bar ingredients in given order. Pour into pan and bake for 30 minutes or until bars spring back. While bars are cooling mix frosting. Adjust flavor and consistency to taste. Spread on cooled bars.
This year I found the frosting not to my liking so added powdered sugar. Depending on the consistency of the frosting add 1-2 cups. I tried arrowroot powder but did not make the cut.
