On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days.  Here is recipe 63: Bayou Bars!

My stepmom is from Louisiana and I know that she loves these type of desserts.  She was coming to visit so I knew it was the perfect time to try out this recipe.

Bayou Bars

These bars are light and wonderful yet rich in flavor.  Perfect for spring.
