Cooking Light’s Fig Bars

by Anna on July 28, 2005 · 6 comments

One very vivid sense memory from my preschool days was tasting a Fig Newton for the first time and discovering the filling was fig — not the chocolate fudge it appeared to be. While I was disappointed the filling was not chocolate, I found flavor of the fig strangely exotic. Naturally, I liked Fig Newtons [...]
