On hectic days, I often ate a candy bar and drank a soda for lunch. When I began cooking as a young adult, I discovered something amazing. I learned how to incorporate candy bars into baked goods. For instance, I found out I could add candy bars to brownie recipes. I also learned these sweet bars can be incorporated into your favorite, sugar cookie recipes. On this blog, I hope you will discover how to make your beloved, dessert recipes even more spectacular by adding candy bars to them. Enjoy!
