Recipe: Mom’s Chocolate Chip Spice Bars

Do you have those recipes from childhood, that just one bite makes the world better??  I have a few  that always brighten my day.  We recently went camping and I made these bars, which our boys love.  They remind them of their Grandma Martell. This year I had misplaced the recipe and had to call mom for the recipe.  I thought it is about time that I put this recipe on the  website!  I would hate to be without it again!    When searching on the internet, I could not find a similar recipe.  I will have to ask my mom where the original recipe came from!  One bite brings me right back to Redfield, SD and my mom’s kitchen.  Great memories!
