Thank you, Dana. I’m so glad this recipe worked for you and your boyfriend.
I didn’t think to put raisins in these bars. I always keep a box of golden raisins in the pantry. I’ll have to toss in a handful with the next batch.
Thanks for the tasty idea!

Hello,

Just wanted to tell you how much I love your site and your recipes.
I tried this one on my family and added raisins because I love them and it turned out great!
Even my very criticizing boyfriend gave a “thumbs up” while gobbling another piece.

Hope to try more of your recipes soon.

Hi Jayne!
That icing is completely wonderful! I’ve used it on zucchini bread and made it a glaze to drizzle over pumpkin cookies.
Oh yeah, it’s good.

This is a great recipe. I did add 1/2 c crushed pineapple and used brown sugar and it came out wonderful. I didn’t have any cream cheese in the fridge, so I used some cheese style yogurt mixed with vanilla and confectioners sugar and it made a nice glaze.

Looking forward to trying the cream cheese frosting next time.

Now THAT’S funny! Those ol’dogs, you gotta watch’em. Their notorious for gobblin’up cake, ice cream, and fudge cut way too small.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know this passed the quality inspection team here at the farm;) Sandra says it is a do-over recipe. I even got a little heavy handed with the frosting and was told it wasn’t a problem…. Oh, and she got a second piece and blamed it on the dog!

Hi Amy!

No, I wouldn’t back off. This is not an overly sweet dessert. Well, the frosting is sweet, but not the cake.

I haven’t tried lime zest, yet. ;D
I was thinking of adding in a little crushed pineapple, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 cup?
I’d like to turn this recipe into mini-Hummingbird cake-bars.

Doesn’t that sound good?

If I use regular sweetened coconut, (I have it on hand) should I back off the sugar slightly?
Thanks this really looks and sounds almost tropical. Have you ever added lime zest?

Thank you, Sangeeth! This recipe is so good, I’ve baked it TWICE this week. I kid you not. The first pan went faster than I was ready to be finished eating it. So, I made another pan. It’s in the frig now, waiting for me.
