My in-laws were in town last weekend doing some house hunting. They are moving to within just a few hours of where we live and we are super excited. We won't even have to leave the state to see them! My kids are beyond excited and ask almost every day if Grandma and Grandpa have moved yet.
We met up with them to have some pizza which we took back to their hotel to eat. We thought it would be fun to bring a dessert to eat but I was having a beast of a time trying to pick what I wanted to make. We wanted pies but the ones that sounded good to everyone were pies that needed to be refrigerated which wasn't going to work. I also didn't want to have to spend a whole ton of time making one. I was feeling seriously lazy that day. I'm a big fan of bar cookies because they actually give me the time to go get ready instead of having to man the oven. I saw these bars and thought it could work but then I was feeling too lazy to make a crust from scratch (anyone sensing a theme here?). So I grabbed a pre-made graham cracker crust from the cupboard and pressed the cookie mix into it and threw it in the oven. It worked out just fine, although the top edge of the graham cracker crust was just a tad overcooked. If I do it as a pie again I would make sure to put one of those pie crust protector thing-ys on it (technical I know). Otherwise this was a big hit and my 14 year old sister in law lit up when we said we would leave the rest of the pie behind, all 2 slices of it.
