Bar cookies and squares

Buttered Candy Fingers

Virginia created these bars for her husband, a longtime fan of Butterfinger candy bars. Similar candy bars could be used. They’re a great cookie for parties–easy to make and popular with both kids and adults.

Layered Peanut Butter Brownies

In case there was ever a doubt, these brownies prove that peanut butter and chocolate are a marriage made in heaven.

Pumpkin Currant Bars

Looking for an easier alternative to pumpkin pie for your Thanksgiving dessert? These luscious pumpkin bars taste a lot like pumpkin pie, but you don’t have to roll out the crust. You can serve them plain or with a dab of whipped cream.

Pecan Praline Bars for Mardi Gras

This easy cookie recipe obeys the law that governs Southern desserts: If it doesn’t make your teeth ache, it’s not worth eating. This dessert is great anytime of year, but it’s especially suitable for Mardi Gras.

Almond Squares

Almond paste, almonds and almond extract make these bars a dream come true for almond lovers.
