For the Holiday Layer Bars, I needed Candied Orange Peel. Can you buy that? I have no idea. I looked for it at my local grocery store with no luck, but came prepared with an ingredient list to make it myself. It’s pretty easy,…
Merry Christmas! Today’s the big day! I hope you’re enjoying a wonderful holiday with family and friends. These Holiday Layer Bars are perfect for today. A gingersnap crust sprinkled with white chocolate, cranberries, candied orange peel, pistachios, and coconut. This is probably the easiest…
