No-bake, with three layers of yumminess: a somewhat chewy cookie bottom, vanilla frosting middle, and chocolate top layer. Everyone loves these.
Bar Cookies
Magic Santa Bars
A twist on the average magic bar, this rich and delicious cookie bar has a surprise tartness of Craisins®. We make every Christmas season and they’re snatched up in no time!
Calypso Bars
A chocolate date bar. My childhood memories of holidays included these bars from my mother’s friend Bernie. Wonderfully rich.
Apple Caramel Cheesecake Bars
Easy caramel cheesecake bars are topped with apple slices and a final layer of Marzetti® Old Fashioned Caramel Dip after the bake.
So Pink Cereal Bars
Perfect for Valentine’s Day or a girls’ party, these tasty sweets are sensational and very quick. Cranberry gelatin makes them sooooo pink! You can also press the warm mixture into heart-shaped molds if you’re fast enough.
Chocolate Tom Thumb Bars
These mouth watering, moist and chocolaty bars were always the first to disappear off my mom’s holiday goodie platter. With a sweet meringue topping, these will be a hit at your next gathering.
Rhubarb Rumble Pie or Bars
This is the best cold rhubarb dessert recipe I’ve found, and it’s so easy. I have to give thanks to Nikki for adapting this recipe! Even my son who dislikes rhubarb loves this one. Adapted from the diabetic/diet version (Rhubarb Rumble). I like to make this in an 11×7-inch (2-quart) glass pan, making my own graham cracker crust. The addition of fresh strawberries adds an extra layer of lusciousness. It ends up being a very PRETTY IN PINK dessert. The hard part is waiting for it to chill.
PBJ Crunch Bars
If you are a fan of peanut butter and jelly, you will love these bars. I get a lot of requests for the recipe. I use smooth peanut butter, but crunchy can be substituted.
Chef John’s Orange-Pistachio "Greenies"
Are you tired of blondies or bored with brownies? Then it’s time to try these Greenies, a brownie-like confection made with pistachios and flavored with orange zest.
Cinnamon Apple Pie Bars
It has taken me a while to find a good recipe, but finally with some different trials I find this has a great balance of cinnamon and nutmeg. Not to mention it is so much easier than apple pie and I think it tastes better. You can arrange the top crust lattice-style if desired.
Mom’s Walnut Bars
These are sinfully delicious walnut cookies made with no flour! They can be made at Christmas with little poinsettia’s on the top or on Halloween with R.I.P. written on top (we call them ‘coffin cookies’ when they are made like that). I hope you like them as much as we do! Note: Mom uses lemon, but I like orange better.
Meringue Squares
These are one of my favorites that my mother only made at Christmas time but they are delicious anytime!
Almond Squares I
If you really like a strong almond taste, substitute almond extract for vanilla extract in this recipe.
