Oh my, my . . .these bars are simply divine. And cute. And easy. I found the recipe via Pinterest . . it was the first recipe I had ever tried from Pinterest. . . .and I've since made it multiple times. They are that good. The recipe was via a blog called A Little Bit Crunchy A Little Bit Rock and Roll. When I had done a quick Pinterest search, a bazillion hits came up with these sugar cookie bars . . .and not all from the same source. So, I looked at a quite a few - and they were all the same. Usually, it was just the frosting recipe that varied. Could all these people be wrong?
Be sure to bust out your fat pants - because these are (in the words of the dearly departed Robert Palmer) SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE!
