Ladies and gents,
When you make your CLA bars, don't get all fancy and try swirling everything with a knife. This leads to upside-down CLA bars, and makes presentation tricky! I must have destroyed the "integrity" of the crust with swirling - the cake part all ended up on top, with the creamy part on the bottom! I was able to cut them and then flip over and top with the gooey part that stayed in the pan. Even though they were ugly, they were a big hit at the National Night Out party.
I made mine with Butterscotch Chips, white cake mix, and subbed applesauce for the original oil. mmmm!!! Guess what I had for dinner (and guess what kind of tummy ache I have now!)
