Desserts To Sweeten Your July 4th BBQ

“This is a delicious recipe that can be tweaked to your individual tastes. Peanuts can be substituted with crushed Oreos, your favorite candy bars broken up, etc. You can use different dessert sauces, such as caramel in place of chocolate, or just use both. This was really good and so easy.” – Teri

“This recipe will make you slap the dog and spit on the fire. When I make these, they don’t last an hour in my house. Family and friends eat them right up and don’t even leave a crumb. I am always having people request these naughty, sweet, just too good not to share bars.” – Kim

“My grandmother made a delicious, moist lemon cake like this from scratch years ago. It was my favorite.

The lemon juice in the icing gives the cake such a fresh taste.” – Jane
