B. Lovin' It Bars

I love having this blog...a few days ago an old friend of mine that I haven't talked to in forever sent me a message on Facebook:

"I had an awesome snack the other day, but I have no idea what it was exactly or how it was made. I think it had graham cracker crust on the bottom....& chocolate & peanut butter chips in it...& I THOUGHT come crumbled graham cracker crust on the top & 'baked' (it kinda looked that way, anyways...it was kind of brown-looking) coconut. I normally hate coconut, but it was amazing with that stuff & the texture didn't bother me as much.
Anywho- I figured that since you're into cooking & baking yummy-ness that you might either know what it is or how to do it...& if possible, I'd love it if you could put the recipe up so maybe I could attempt to make it some time."

 

She's sweet and I miss her so it was nice to hear from her!  I assumed that it was a bar called "Magic Bar" or "7 Layer Bar" that I've had before.  They're sooo good and simple.  I made them and brought them into the store today and the guy I work with, Brandon Love, said they're his favorite thing I've made so far; then he told me to name them after him... so here they are... The "B. Lovin' It Bars"/ "Magic Bars"/ "7 Layer Bars"/ "The Bar of Many Names".  Just for you Becca! :)

P.S. On a side note, Kellen is moving into his new house today, so wish him luck!!
