I think they would be great to take to a holiday party or a potluck, but I'm not sure how to wrap them without it becoming a mess, and they really only keep optimally for about 2 days.<BR/><BR/>Brett is like that too, so we agree and enjoy very much our frosting-less cupcakes and such, but I know other people can handle it so I try to use frosting when I am making food for others.<BR/><BR/>I hope we do too! We'll know more tomorrow. Matt Forte has already played and got us 11 points. We opted to start the Panthers defense in place of the Bears (as the Bears can fall apart on the run block at times), and then, of course, the bears had a touchdown return and 2 fumbles. I hope the Panthers do flippin' good now!<BR/><BR/>Laura - Thank you. It really is, I love using local pumpkin puree, I love that you use it too. <BR/><BR/>That is pretty cool that you got to meet the creator, his chocolate is so simple, but tastes amazing. I think so, I don't think a mean and nasty person would make very good chocolate. :-)<BR/><BR/>Courtney - Thanks! Haha, I used to be that way, but anymore, I just prefer things "mildly sweet". That is a good thing to prefer fruits, I love fruit myself!<BR/><BR/>I hope you like these if you make them, they truly are very good, but also very rich and decadent!<BR/><BR/>I plan on trying to make it up to them - everyone else is going to have such variety, and he is only going to have two different things, so I'll make sure they are really tasty and he gets his fill of them!<BR/><BR/>Lisa - It really was. Thats alright, I should have thought about the "frosting-packaging-traveling" equation before trying them out, but I think you are right - cookies will "satisfice" (I love that word!).<BR/><BR/>You too Lisa, thanks.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-36744577889084235752008-12-13T06:42:00.000-06:002008-12-13T06:42:00.000-06:00the frosting sounds so good!

I am going to have to try these bars out, though--they really do sound (and look) amazing!<BR/><BR/>I am sure your chocolate/caffeine sensitive family/friends will appreciate your thoughtfulness with their non-chocolate/caffeine treats. They will be thrilled with their cookies!<BR/><BR/>CourtneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-85173499407101009962008-12-12T15:31:00.000-06:002008-12-12T15:31:00.000-06:00those look so greata! isn't using your own pumpkin...those look so greata! isn't using your own pumpkin puree so satisfying?? and anything with maple, well, just plain rocks!!<BR/>yeah, i have tried a couple different varieties of patric and it is sooooo wonderful!! and it only has two ingredients! i met patric, the creator, when i was working at clover's and he is really nice! i'm pretty sure someone would have to be awesome to make such great chocolate though!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653485183776921150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2507829329403685696.post-45914600512052499522008-12-12T13:59:00.000-06:002008-12-12T13:59:00.000-06:00oooooh, yay! what tasty bars! and a maple-walnut f...oooooh, yay! what tasty bars! and a maple-walnut frosting!?! too much awesomeness! mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmm! sorry they won't work well for gifts - but they sure do look divine, Jennifer. the frosting sounds especially tasty! i hear ya on the yummy ache from the sweet stuff. i get the same thing. for my birthday i made cupcakes and after i had one my stomach was NOT happy with all that sugar. it's a good thing, i think! :) hope you kick some ass in fantasty football this weekend, and i look forward to the local booty post! it's one of my favs!jessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239751125232117374noreply@blogger.com
