Why is it that everything very good is so very, very bad? Take this modified Paula Deen recipe for Gooey Butter Bars that the genius over at Brown Sugar Mama had the fantastic idea of adding coconut and lemon to. There are almost 3/4lbs of butter in this this recipe and so much sugar that you… Continue reading Lemon Coconut Gooey Butter Bars
Can we really call these brownies? I suppose they could be called blondies instead. There was a lot of quibbling over the title in the reviews I read for this recipe. Semantics, really. These perfect apple cinnamon-y bars are definitely delicious, and you know that’s all I care about. Honestly, it’s a dangerous recipe for… Continue reading Good ‘ol Fashioned Apple Brownies
