Perfect for springtime!
(Please excuse my instagram words HA! Still a cute pic though)
These bars are ~absolutely~ divine. They've been dubbed by my friends as the best dessert that I've made. I can't argue with that! These are the perfect spring/summer treat and truly make me want to lay in the grass and soak up the sun until I turn into a spring flower. Dramatic? Maybe. Anyway, they're lovely!
