These Five Layer Bars are easy and delicious – a coconut crust with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, cranberries and peanuts!
Five Layer Bars
Immaculate Baking sent me coupons and free products through the Immaculate Baking program, hoping that I might write about them. Any and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.
This past weekend was crazy busy. My family and I met up with some other local bloggers to visit the Arizona Science Center. I also have a blog conference next weekend, so I have been busy trying to get ready for that.
I have been working frantically trying to get everything ready for next weekend. Getting posts ready and trying to keep thing scheduled ahead. Not to mention, just dealing with the normal day to day stuff. Sigh. It’s a lot of stuff.
My kiddos wanted a treat the other day, so I quickly threw this together using some refrigerated cookie dough I had in the refrigerator. The rest of the recipe came together using things I had on hand.
