Ginger snappy bar

I was browsing the aisles at the Whole Earth Co-op in River Falls and saw a package of Sturdiwheat Ginger Snappy Bars. I was very familiar with the Sturdiwheat brand as I have made their pancakes, but hadn't seen their dessert mixes. I love how easy their products are to prepare, but even more, I love how great they taste.

Start to finish, it took me 6 minutes to get the bars in the oven. After pulling the baking dish from the cupboard, I softened the butter in the microwave and preheated the oven to 325. As their slogan states, just add water! In a mixing bowl, I stirred all the ingredients until it had a sticky consistency. As is said on the back of the package, I pressed the batter into the dish and put it in the oven for 35 minutes.

Really, I can't say enough about the Sturdiwheat brand. It's a local company (Red Wing, MN) and I really love supporting local businesses. Plus, they don't add preservatives and their products taste extremely good and of high quality. If you ever need to make a quick treat for a party or to bring to work, look in the baking aisle for Sturdiwheat products. You'll receive praise for your baking abilities and the consumers will be very happy. You both win. I wonder if Sturdiwheat needs a national spokesperson...I'm willing.
