About this
This is the bar desserts category index page on the Fresh April Flours baking blog. It introduces the site's collection of simple bar desserts (excluding brownies, which have their own section) and links to every bar recipe post, from lemon and cheesecake bars to cookie bars, Rice Krispies treats, blondies, and microwave fudge. The page is a recipe roundup rather than an actual party plan, so the party-oriented fields below are mostly empty and confidence is low.
