Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bar Week Day 5
Delicious Cookie Bar Recipes from Averie Cooks

Magic 8 Bars

One of my favorite food blogs is Averie Cooks.  Not only is Averie one of the sweetest bloggers I know, but her recipes make me swoon, stare longingly at my screen and quite possibly drool a fair amount.  And she is amazing at creating bar recipes, so when I wanted to do a week of magic cookie and seven layer bars, I knew I just had to include some of Averie’s recipes.
