Let’s talk bars. Not the ones with sticky floors or moody lighting and fancy cocktails. We mean the ones you eat, the sweet treats, the might be a cookie, might be a breakfast feast. Perfect for gatherings because they’re easy to make and even easier to transport, we’ve rounded up a selection of simple dessert bar recipes as we roll through the season of weddings, holidays, and parties.
