Pecan & Rice Pops Bars

Like mother like son! ha! My boy was asking for some sweet treat a couple of days back. And here's what I made for him. Something small and not too heavy but sweet and flirty. Frankly, I prefer having this kind of bars & slices than having a big slice of cake. Not too filling and just nice for the crave.

A 9 inches tray of bake goodie !!! How long do you think this can last? Not long for sure. Actually, I hold up half of them and store it somewhere safe for the next day. This sounds terrible, isn't it! haha... They're safe from the kids but not ME. lol ! ^_^
