Cake Bars

My grandma made these often, they were one of my favorites of hers. Whenever I would go to her house I would go to the back door, that way I passed by the washer and dryer. On top of them was always something fresh baked, be it rolls, cookies or bars. Everyone new this secret, sometimes people came to the front door, but usually not.
