Sorry Not Sorry Bars
I have fallen in love with the game of Field Hockey.
Mostly because my daughter has fallen in love with the game of Field Hockey.
I’ve gotten to be a sideline watcher mom, an almost coach mom, a real coach mom (who assisted with the ice packs and hydration and drills- not any real hard core stuff) and now, I am back to watching…and cutting ribbons, supporting boosters, and PACKING THE SNACK BOX.
My inner mom waged war with this idea. A post game snack should be rich in vitamins and nutrients. I KNOW those young bodies need not Oreos and M&Ms. I do. They wear small sizes and burn a lot of calories and CAN eat this treat, but SHOULD they? No.
Crushed Oreos
Peer pressure can be cruel. I fell into the trap to be the cool mom who made the treats that fall on the less than healthy scale. I ply myself with ideas like, they ate these after the game and it was late, and they were bonding over sugar. They ran hard, won the game, and the calories won’t affect them like they would my old self.
Oh well. Sorry, not sorry.
These are a basic blondie with a whole lot of extra thrown in. Crushed Oreos and M&M’s made my cut, only because I couldn’t find a chocolate covered pretzel I liked and I didn’t want to over kill this recipe- but really, you can throw the kitchen sink in here. Whatever floats your boat. I used regular M&M’s but the last time I checked there were at least ten different flavors (Hello Caramel?? Can’t have within reach of my arms) so you could really have at it.
It is NOT a healthy snack. It isn’t even close. So if you make it, go all in. I saw this original recipe on www.averiecooks.com, and made the batch larger to feed my team. The Snack Box is a serious endeavor. I wanted extra. We don’t skimp at our house when it comes to servings. It’s an Italian thing. Or, maybe it’s a foodie thing.
Sorry Not Sorry Bars
This batter mixes up quickly, and bakes quickly as well. There isn’t baking soda or powder in the recipe, and it makes up two rectangular pans, making twenty four good sized squares. Perfect for a team or for a dessert tray at a function.
In any event, the team determined it was a great snack, and the box came back empty, so I consider that a good sign. I’ll take it. I may not be shouting instructions from the sidelines, but I can get my love in through the baked goods I supply. We all have our strengths.
I hope you enjoy this recipe, and as always, thank you for coming to the table!
