Recipe’s Story: Anecdote (Three to Five Sentences)

These are by far my favorite dessert. My mom has made these bars for every holiday. Our entire family believes she makes them best and always requests them. I still have not made them as well as she has, but I won't stop trying! And I have never been able to resist taking less than 3 bars in a sitting.
