As a surprise for Pat, I made these Dulce de Leche Banana Cookies and Cream Bars from Baker’s Royale. A combination of dulce de leche, vanilla oreos, sweetened condensed milk, bananas and pecans, I thought they sounded heavenly!
As we took our first bites, my face immediately fell. The bars were sickeningly sweet. Pat gamely tried to get through a few more bites before pushing the plate away and telling me he just couldn’t do it. This is coming from the man who can eat half a dozen donuts after a hard bike ride!
Needless to say, this is where the Dulce de Leche Banana Cookies and Cream Bars ended up:
I ran through the recipe to make sure I hadn’t done anything wrong. I can’t figure it out. I’m not sure that I’ve given up on the bars completely. They have the potential to be amazingly delicious if I can figure out a way to tone down the sweetness. Any ideas?
