I was watching an interview with Ashton (@aplusk) and ijustine (@ijustine) (two of favs to follow) and he mentioned a snack he can't live without. It involved a coconut, caramel, graham cracker thing...he could only find them in Mexico. I think he was talking about these MAGIC BARS. I made them an evening when 2 nine-year-olds and I played Iron Chef. (Details of this great party idea to follow)
Cut them up into bitesize squares and they are a great treat to bring to a party or freeze them for a sweet treat anytime.
