Yummy! Made these for my office and they disappeared! 😋
These bars are to die for! I love the bourbon flavor. Definitely a hit at my family gatherings!
I totally agree! The bourbon adds such a unique twist. Can’t wait to make these for Thanksgiving!
I don’t get the bourbon thing. Can I just skip it or use vanilla instead? I’m skeptical about adding booze to desserts.
