just exceelnt in flavor! One thing is mine was alittle on the crumbly side, so next time I will add another egg. We all really enjoyed this wonderful bar. I will be making it again! It is easy too. What I did different, instead of milk in the frosting, I added apple cider instead. I halved the frosting part, just to drizzle a small mount on top, it was perfect. A Very nice recipe CJ !!!

These are WONDERFUL! I only wish my camera was working so I could take a picture. I had to use apple cranberry juice because my family drank all the regular apple juice. :) I made them as bars, glazed them right after they came out of the oven and they really tasted as good as they looked! Thanks for posting!
