Snickerdoodle Crumb Bars
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.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.
These crumb bars deliver a crunchy topping and moist cake. It is always nice to have a go to dessert that is easy and simple.
