Love that it would easily be adapted to sugar free and lower carb your recipes never disappoint!
Yes, for sure and thank you for your kind words. It made my night!
Can I use a cookie sheet with a rim (jelly roll pan) instead of a 9 x 12. What would be the difference in baking
No, I would recommend using a 9×13 inch baking dish. A Jelly roll pan won’t have high enough sides to hold the bars while baking.
