Bars are just about my favorite dessert and I’ve been on a real kick with them lately. It seems they are the perfect thing to take to a party or to have on hand when unexpected guests show up. And who doesn’t love an Almond Joy Bar? These whip up super quick and have been one of my favorites since I was a youngster…
