Snickerdoodle Crumb Bars

Do you ever want to make something sweet but you don't have all of the right ingredients. It seems like every recipe calls for something you don't have. 

Well, here is a recipe that uses ingredients that are pantry basics, so you can bake up a batch on demand. Nothing special needed.

I needed something for my husband to take into work and every recipe I pulled had something that I didn't have except for this one. Snickerdoodle Crumb Bars is a recipe you can make from normal pantry basics.

  2. You are so right, no matter how much you plan to have a well-stocked kitchen, it does seem so common to be missing one ingredient or another. These sound delicious, probably because snickerdoodles are one of our favorite cookies; but these would be so much quicker to mix up! Thanks for sharing!
