Recipe

• 1 combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl (we use a kitchen aid) and pulse to mix to a dough like consistency. transfer mixture to a well buttered 9 x 12 pan. because mixture is very sticky i wet my hands and roughly mold to the pan. i then place a sheet of cling wrap over the mixture and smooth it out. remove the wrap and place in an oven at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, or until the sides just start to appear done. allow to cool completly before removing from the pan. cut into bars and enjoy!
