I would love to try your recipes but there are SO many ads that the screen keeps scrolling away. I have never been on a site like this before. Too bad, I like to bake and share.

the millionaire barsThank you for sharing this recipe! I had seen a similar one on another blog, but you had to weigh everything! First question, do you mean ap flour with no leavening? Second question, when I was shopping for my ingredients, I got confused with the other recipe and bought light corn syrup instead of honey! Will that be okay? If not I can probably borrow some! I plan on doubling the recipe as well! Thanks for the much easier recipe! I mean the Millionaire bars look great, but they are much harder to do! Please post your recipes aand the other bloggers feel free to also! Thanks Mary Rowe

Hi Mary,
Yes, you can use light corn syrup, I was out so I substituted it for honey. All purpose flour does not have leavening. I hope you love this recipe as much as we do, you are smart to double the recipe, these disappear quickly! Nettie
