Directions
Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with non stick spray. Mix all ingredients for your crust together. Even spread into the bottom of your loaf pan and bake for 10 minutes. While your crust is baking vigorously mix all your filling ingredients together until it is nice and creamy. When crust is done, remove from the oven and immediately spread your filling on top. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate over night. The next day slice into 6 bars!
