Grannymar,
These are way too healthy for me.
Where’s the chocolate? Nom, nom! 😀
Am I the only one brave enough to confess 😕
Steph,
I think I should have called them Gold Bars! 😉
These sound delicious, and I was recently looking for a bar-type recipe. This is perfect.
I did have to figure out what “whole-meal flour” is and discovered it’s what we Canadians call “whole-wheat.”
Thought I’d write that in for others who might be interested.
Thanks for the recipe!
Yukon Chatter Bug,
I am pleased you like my recipe. Alteration made above as requested! 😀
