This easy recipe from The Big Apple Farm is a fun project to share with kids. They can get their hands nice and sticky mixing the dough. No need for an electric mixer. Maple syrup and vanilla smell incredible while the bars are baking. Great for a snack, toss some in your backpack, or dress them up with ice cream for a special dessert.
