It’s my friend, Karen’s birthday today and later we are going to get together and celebrate this amazing lady we are lucky to call a friend. Each friend is bringing a dessert to make a fun dessert bar.
We will probably laugh our way into the wee hours of the morning and so we will need some yummy goodness to sustain us. I wanted to bring something I could eat that is low carb, yet yummy enough to keep me from being tempted by the other options on display. I also wanted a dessert my friends wouldn’t scoff at as being “diet food” and it HAS to be something as lovely and delicious as Karen. With layers of cookie, pecans, coconut, chocolate chips, and low carb sweetened condensed milk, these Hello Dolly Bars are perfect.
My recipe is low carb, gluten free, and THM S.
