Mango bars!!!

I used to bake a lot when I was younger. My mom bought me and my sisters as nice electric stand alone oven, and I would bake whenever time and my allowance money lets me. Back in the day, my apple pies and chocolate truffle cakes were a big hit with my family. I was the queen of baking...until I ended up with a flaming sponge cake!Note to self...tape down excess wax paper to avoid flames! That was the end of my reign as the baking queen.

After many years I tried baking again. This time, mango bars! In age of internet its so easy to find recipes,blogs of other food lovers are especially helpful. One day I will blog about my favorite ones, the ones who inspire me to cook and the ones that make me wish I live elsewhere but here because of the ingredients.

This holiday season I was busy baking mango bars for Christmas, and some people even ordered! Yehey! This second foray into baking was by accident. My friend needed to bake her Christmas giveaways but had no time to make them herself. Since I had time and an oven...I offered. I experimented with a few recipes off the net until I found the one. Its rich in mango flavor, just enough sweetness, the base is flaky and flavorful, overall a big hit. I will post the recipe when I get permission from the writer  to link her page. My best gauge of yumminess: the boss digs the mango bars!

Happy cooking!!!!!!
