Valentine’s day is right around the corner and what is Valentine’s day without a little sweetness in your day? I made the yummiest Valentine’s day cookie bars earlier this week and wanted to share the recipe with you! Thanks to Stevia In The Raw® zero-calorie sweetener I can indulge and feel a little less guilty.
These Valentine’s day bars were super easy to make and pretty quick to whip up too. I’m all about fast and easy recipes.
