Disappearing Bars  are my go to recipe when I need a ‘make and take’ dessert.

They make up quickly.  I usually have all the ingredients in the pantry and I always come home with an empty plate.

I love the texture of these chocolate bars.They have a fudgie center and a shortbread-like crust and topping.  They hold together well whether transported on a fancy platter to a party or in a lunch box to school.

The main ingredient in the bars is Goody Mix.  An invention of mine.  You see, many years ago someone asked me if all my antique cookie jars were filled with cookies.  I wondered what I’d have to do to fill them.  That’s when I was first struck with the idea of an all-purpose dessert mix.  It took a lot of flour and sugar, but I got this formula just right.  My family convinced that others would enjoy being included in this ‘great desserts secret’ and so I’m sharing with all of you.
