Week 3, Feb. 15

This week CSB members are receiving boxes of bar cookies. Some are reminiscent of childhood favorites, and another is my version of a purely American Rice Krispy Treat.

~Classic Zesty Lemon Bars- These yummy treats feature a shortbread crust and a gooey, sweet-tart lemon filling.

~Apple-Cranberry Oatmeal Bars- Chopped, seasoned apple chunks, slowly simmered until tender, and dried cranberries fill this flaky whole grain crust. The crust is made with oats and whole wheat flour.

~Chocolate-Caramel Crispy Treats- My take on the classic lunchbox treat, these are far from the usual version. My own recipe for handmade vanilla marshmallow is combined with homemade, rich and decadent caramel sauce, creating a gooey base for Envirokids Koala Crisp rice cereal (the natural foods' take on cocoa rice krispies). These happen to be gluten-free also.

Store bars in an airtight container up to three days at room temperature.
