That was the burning question of the day, should I pack or bake some bars I’ve been yearning for??? Did I mention that I’m moving??? Yes, I am moving- more on that in a later post. I have moved several times and the process is always the same. I pack my cookbooks first, but my kitchen last- I continue to cook while the packing process is in full swing trying to empty the freezer. I had 8 boxes of cookbooks alone, which kinda took me by surprise- I thought I had more??? After I marked my cookbook boxes FRAGILE, I began weeding through the girl’s room and quickly realized their room alone could take me another two weeks. I needed energy, motivation, comfort, sweetness and a crew of people to pack all my stuff. Every-time I move I crave the weirdest things, like pasta, rich desserts and french fires- I also crave wine, but that would result in BAD packing. I just look a complete mess in my grungy sweatpants, gross t shirts and old sneakers. Hey it’s packing not a social event, so these are the days that I want something just heavenly bad, so I made Magic Cookie Bars. These bars were just what I needed to get motivated to pack again, and they were quick to make which is always nice. I had everything for these in my pantry, but wow the variations are limitless. Add what you like, make them your own and Enjoy!!
