Highland Squares
"My mom used to make these all the time for an afterschool snack, but she got it from a 1930's church cookbook.
The basic recipe makes a nice simple sweet when eaten alone, but the possibilities are endless. I've mixed in chocolate chips, or dried fruit to make more of a granola bar. It is also nice served warm with ice cream."

Tried these this morning with just the addition of 2/3 pecan pieces. They were so good I had to throw them away for fear of eating the entire batch. When the main ingredients are butter and sugar what's not to love. Thanks, I will make it again but this time when I have someone to share it with.

<p>I'm a homemaker and mother of 3. I could spend hours in a day browsing Recipezaar, if only I had the time... sigh. I try to make everything I can from scratch and often start making dinner at 2 in the afternoon. I love baking fresh bread and cupcakes for the kids, but I'm most noted for my fearless foray into cuisines I have no experience (or business) cooking. <br /> <br /> Recently, I have taken to presentation and embelishment as I have been hosting most of the family holiday gatherings. I think that had to come with experience for me. <br /> <br /> My personal mantra is Rest is for sissies! <br /> <br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /></p>
