As you may have noticed, there’s been quite a popular trend many of us have tried while we’re sheltering at home – baking!   What better way to pass the time than with a fun activity which ends with a delicious treat??

For those who are already on the baking bandwagon, and those who are willing to give it a try, SusieCakes has a ton of tasty recipes that you can bake at home.  Below you will find instructions and ingredients to guide you through our personal favorite (7-Layer Bars), but if you’re in the mood for something different – perhaps a snickerdoodle, brownie, or even a flourless oatmeal cookie – all of Susie’s featured recipes are online here: http://susiecakes.com/recipes/. 

We love these bars because not only are they downright delicious, but they require all the BEST ingredients which end up as one perfect dessert.  And, they’re super easy to make!  Just follow the directions below – happy baking!
