WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO MAKE DECADENT COOKIES MAKE THESE EASY LAZY BARS INSTEAD. The day these Lazy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars were created it was raining outside and all I wanted to do was relax after a long day of work. Instead I divided my time between the couch and the kitchen because I wasn’t going down without a sweet-tooth fix that night.

All you need to do is add a 1/4 cup of spiced rum to 2 cups of raisins and cover over-night on the counter. In the morning you will have plump, juicy spiced rum raisins that will change the taste of your […]
