Guest approved Pineapple Bars are a favorite at Brenham House Bed and Breakfast for dessert. It is the most requested recipe and for this reason I knew I had to add it to my blog. It is a cake but is so rich and I usually cut the size of a bar cookie to serve. For this reason I call them Pineapple Bars! This is a great go to recipe when you need something for a pot luck dinner or if you are having friends over for coffee and dessert. It is easy to make and there is never anything left to bring home.
Can’t you just taste it?
