Subject: cake bar cookie
I lost a recipe for a bar that was on the back of either Swan's Down
cake flour or Softasilk cake flour 10-12 years ago,. It was a chocolate
cake bottom with caramel ice cream topping or melted Kraft caramels
(I can't remember for sure), nuts, chocolate chips and maybe canned
milk on the top. The topping went on at the end of baking and was baked
for only a few minutes. It was fabulous. can you help?
Thanks.
Hi,
The recipe below is the only one that I can find by ingredients. If that's not it, I'll need the exact name of the recipe to do better.
