Now on to sweeter things.
Early this week, my mom baked a sampling of her bar cookies for a friend of mine who opened a coffee shop, and she also prepared a box for me to take home to the kids. She still makes batches of these home-baked treats by order.
To be honest, I had too much of these sugary delights in the past and I have grown tired of them already. Although it has been a while since I had some, I still did not feel like taking a bite into those sinful little squares. But for some reason, as my little girl literally dipped and poked her fingers in the chocolate and meringue frosting, I was tempted to pop one bar in my mouth in that instant. And now it's going, going, gone...
It took several bars to disappear before I remembered to whip out my camera and take a few shots before I have nothing left to share with you, even just a glimpse of my mom's delectable baked goodies at the very least.
Moist and chocolate-y Almond Brownies, Kahlua-laced Cappuccino Bars, chewy Choco-meringue, Carrot Bars with choco-chips, and a slice of luscious Chocolate Cake... a sampling of her best-sellers lined the box as we devoured it, one bar at a time.
It's pretty clear which one stood out for my girl, as you can see here (what's left of them), the snowy-white meringue-covered bars became "topless" in seconds! She loved the sweet, flaky top layer. But I think I got the better deal here leaving me with the chewy "naked bottom" part of the bar.
