Sigh* & *Swoon*
If you love 7 layer bars, you are going to love these little pretties. These actually are only 6 layer bars, minus the graham cracker crust that is normally associated with 7 layer bars, but it's all the same idea! I am undeniably infatuated with the vibrant red color! Are they not the coolest shade of red you ever saw as far as red velvet cake goes?
It literally put me in heaven nom-nomming on these yummy, rich flavored bars! Not a bad thing to be in heaven, right? Sinful though!
Of course, it's the sweetened creamy condensed milk
If you're loving the red velvet vibe - you'll love these too!
