When I found out we were having the SavvyMom HQ bake-off, I immediately thought of a holiday treat my mom used to make when I was growing up. Her recipe for Confetti Bars is quick and super easy—both important criteria for the mom of 17 month-old twins. This recipe is all about peanut butter, so those with allergies, take note. It’s also a no-bake recipe (yet somehow still qualified for the bake-off), that would be lots of fun to make with kids—they could easily help measure and mix the ingredients. The cookie tasters at HQ said: “It’s the perfect church or bake sale cookie!” Enjoy!
