This was a fun, delicious dessert to make with my girls. Aster, 5, can do more complex stuff in the kitchen, but Bea, 2 ½, still isn't much beyond the "stir and bake" skill level, and that is what this dessert is. But for a simple stir and bake, it makes a wonderful dessert with rich flavor.
The bars are like eating cinnamon toast. And who doesn't like cinnamon toast?
You can use a stand mixer in the stirring part. I'd do it at a low speed to fluff everything up, but it also worked just find mixing by hand, Amish-style. So enjoy this amazing dessert!
