Grandma’s Cookie Bars will be featured at the dessert bar. These bars are easy to make, cost efficient and even easier to serve. No hassle, no mess, no utensils! I am featuring 3 types of “Grandma’s Cookie Bars” at my White Winter Wonderland Soiree. Seven Layer Bars, Maple Walnut Blondies and Mallow Nut Fudgies! Instructions for diabetics should contain sugar free chocolate, butterscotch and vanilla chocolate morsels or buy sugar free bars of the chocolate and chop them up into chunks. Sugar substitutions should contain lite organic honey and sugar free maple syrup as well as other sugar free products. \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
