Today’s recipe brings back a ton of nostalgic feelings. My mom made these bars for us when we were little and they were my absolute favorite part about the dessert tray during the holidays. She’d make one large show-stopper dessert, then set out a tray of pecan tassies, chewy cherry coconut cookies, and these glorious Reese’s bars. You can only imagine what I always grabbed first.
I almost completely forgot about them until Kevin asked me to make “no-bake bars.” Could you clarify that, please?! I described these to him and within seconds, I was in the kitchen with all 5 ingredients out on the counter.
