buttery pineapple bars
"another guys night has come upon me, and i am going to try something different. i know i have a LOT if chocolate desserts up my sleeve, so i wanted to go fruity. i happened to have a lot of canned pineapple in my pantry, so i knew i would experiment with it right away. during the summer, you always see lemon bar recipes floating around. i thought i would create a spin off of those lemon bars using pineapple. there is a tad bit of butter in this recipe, which makes them super soft and decadent. okay, there is a lot. but it is okay to splurge every now and then, right? well, dive-in to these bars and don't look back. :)..."
