My thoughts: This was another recipe created for the RWOP website competition….no winning for me yet, but I’m going to keep trying! 🙂
It was inspired by bar cookies my grandmother used to make with me when I was little. Hers were called O’Henry Krispies and they were delicious! The addition of cream cheese gives these bars a rich and creamy feel. This is an incredibly easy dessert- but oh soooo yummy! Hope you enjoy them! r-
