Fig is packing the vans for the youth retreat this weekend and I'm smelling the deliciousness that are "Nance Bars" aka Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. Our good friend Nancy, the secretary at Messiah CRC, is famous for her bars so everyone in the church has labeled them "Nance Bars". I was going to make a snack for the kids on the retreat but ran out of time to make individual cookies but would have time for the bars. For a little added fun I chopped up a handful of M&Ms and threw them on top of the batter. The color stayed nicely and everyone likes extra chocolate!
