Guest approved Pineapple Bars are a favorite at Brenham House Bed and Breakfast for dessert. Â It is the most requested recipe and for this reason I knew I had to add it to my blog. Â It is a cake but is so rich and I usually cut the size of a bar cookie to serve. Â For this reason I call them Pineapple Bars! Â 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. Â It is easy to make and there is never anything left to bring home.
Can’t you just taste it?
