Brown Sugar Butter Bar Recipe

I can't tell you how much I love these bars! They are by far the easiest recipe I have made in a long time--and I make *lots* of easy recipes. You don't even need an electric mixer to put this recipe together! If you are pressed for time (and who isn't?) but still want to make homemade treats for Christmas, I highly recommend this recipe. Now that you know how easy they are, let's talk about the flavor. This recipe causes me to fall in love with baking all over again. A quick scan of the ingredients reveals there isn't anything out of the ordinary in the bars. Just dry ingredients, brown sugar, butter, and an egg. There isn't even vanilla in this recipe! However, you won't miss it. The butter and brown sugar are cooked on the stove. This coaxes out nuanced flavors in both--think deep caramel and brown butter! . . .
