There\u2019s no mixer and no fuss. Just stir, spread, bake, and share.<\/p>\n
The recipe makes two pans, so you can keep one and give the other away\u2014perfect for neighbors, potlucks, or last-minute guests. You\u2019ll love these bars because they\u2019re quick, affordable, and nostalgic. Prep takes about 10 minutes, baking about 30, and the total cost is under $6.
