Love this Bar. When starting to put this together I realized it was a recipe that I made many years ago and lost.I had not made this recipe for almost 30 years. I was so excited to find in amongst your recipes. Needless to say it is so much easier to mix up using the food processor. A great treat to serve at any time but don't foget to have this one on your Christmas dainty tray as well. Quick, easy and so very good.
