These bars are very simple to make. You mix everything in one bowl, then spread in a pan (she uses a 9" springform but I used a 9" square pan) and top with sliced almonds and sugar. To send to my husband, I packaged them with plastic wrap in a food container and froze them until I was ready to mail the package. They got to him 5 days later and still tasted great! This is a delicious recipe that is easy enough to make when you need a quick dessert, and is also a good recipe to make with kids. The hardest part is waiting until they cool to slice and eat them!
