Krista Bars

Krista is the sweetest friend EVER!

She happens to be married to "Keys" remember him? Their son is so cute that a stranger told ME that he was by far my cutest son. Oops! Sorry to my own two boys.
She thinks that she is very helpful on the playing field. (sometimes I have to move my chair over a little...)
She is quite the hoe-downer! Our dog LOVES her. In a very slobbery way. Krista was once awakened by my dog's tongue in her mouth! Sorry!!!! (Krista is so nice, she is still my friend after that unfortunate incident.) AND she lets me Staycation at her house anytime I want!

But what she is really known for are the bars. The Krista Bars. My sons dream of them, my husband laments the fact that he ever tasted one, and I finally agreed to make them for my family. And now I am giving you the gift of The Krista Bar.

Now if you are diabetic please step away and load up on the insulin. I'll wait right here.

Once you read what is in them, you may not want to have them in your home. Just try them once, and see what happens.
