Honey Bars

Submitted by LonghornMama

"Recipe is from Sunrise Beach is Still Cooking, Cooking from Texas Hills and Lakes compiled by the Ladies Auxiliary of Sunrise Beach Volunteer Fire Department and credited to Nancy Brown. My kids loved these easy bars! The young one calls them honey brownies. You can't taste the mayo in the icing, which is thin and sinks into the hot bars giving them a glazed appearance."

Used a mild honey this time around (next time I want to have a darker variety) & toasted almonds! Easy to make & very nice eating for the 2 of us & our guests! Will definitely keep this recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]
