Goodie Bars

IMG_2150These bars were a goto goodie in my home growing up.  Thus the name goodie bars.   Oooo they are so good Eeeee!  And super easy, I’m pretty sure this is one of the first things I learned to bake as a kid, standing on my little red stool.

By the way….did you have a little red stool?  You know the one, if you had one, you’ll know what I’m talking about.  It was red and painted in white on the top step it said “this little stool is mine, I use it all the time, to reach the things I couldn’t and lots of things I shouldn’t!”.  Awe I miss that stool.  I’m sure it got sold in a garage sale along with Mrs Beasly.  Will you excuse me a sec…..?  Thanks.  I needed to blow my nose.  sniff sniff.

What's the first thing you can remember baking?

IMG_2149These bars are easy and so addicting.  One thing you need to know, because goodie bars are so ooey gooey they can be hard to get out of the pan.  The best way I’ve found to remedy this is by lining my pan with aluminum foil and greasing the dickens out of it.

IMG_2125Take aluminum foil and line your pan like so, then spray it with baking spray, or rub Crisco or butter into every corner and up the sides, what ever you normally use to grease your pans will do just do it double the normal amount.

IMG_2144Or you will end up with aluminum foil stuck to the sides of your bars.  See above.   I was being a slacker.  It’s been known to happen.

IMG_2151Lest you think everything comes out perfect in my kitchen I thought I’d also show you this.  No biggy it’s all tastes the same, things don’t always come out all perfect and pretty (when you forget to adequately grease your pan), but hey that’s life!

IMG_2123Here’s what you will need to make Goodie Bars.

Pop it in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.  Allow to cool, peel back aluminum foil, cut into squares and have at IT!
