Please make these. Make these right now.
Head to The Pioneer Woman Cooks and read as I fumble along trying to explain how to make these. There’ll be sticky knives and enough butter to drown a small squirrel, and yes, more photos of eggs.

about me
I write, cook, play music, and make pictures. Not necessarily in that order. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and it shows. That means I eat rice with every meal, love my cousins like my own siblings, and firmly believe that avocados are best eaten with cream and sugar.
If you want to learn more about me, here are 43 things I'd like to do. Here's a little something about my name, in case you were wondering. Here are some other places you'll find me:
- Eek! There was an error fetching the Twitter feed.
LOST AND FOUND
One summer night in 2010, our house burned to the ground and we lost everything we had. This is the story of what happened and how life and hope can always rise from ashes.
I'm proud to belong to an amazing community of Filipino food lovers. Together, we celebrate this often-neglected Asian cuisine, sharing our family's treasured recipes and discovering new ones along the way. This is our club.

These look so wonderful! I jumped over to PW for the entire process:) I am going to make these for sure! I have a fabulous filipino daughter-in-law (since April ’08)and I have never made anything from the Philippines! Also, I now have a little 5 mo. old grandson from that union, so am happy to have a delectable baked good to make for him:)
oh goodness, I wish I knew anything about baking.
Thanks for the tip! :)
Beautiful! These look absolutely delicious!!!
Hut, you are right. I do want those. Now.
I made them and they were so awesome. I posted them on my blog too because I thought everyone should make these things. Thanks for stopping by. BTW, I got the whisk at Williams-Sonoma…don’ t you just love that store?
oooOoooOOOoo…Food for the Gods, um, I mean “BARS”!
I <3 these and will be making them for Christmas give aways along w/some Pulvoron ;)
I guard against carbo but these are just too tempting!!! When will I get my Fedex pack? :)
I had to make sure you know this, I LOVE THIS RECIPE. I didn’t have the walnuts, but instead I added shredded coconut and some caramel pieces to the mix. I threw on top chocolate chunk pieces and it came out fabulous! Everything you said the cookie bar would be, it was! I made enough to already sent it out to go to the Middle East to my old work buddies. Thank you for sharing this recipe, its a keeper!!!
Food for the Gods! I was wondering what “The Bar” was! Now I have to make it. reminds me of the annual christmas gift I used to get from my bestie when I was still living in Manila!
I want to make these RIGHT NOW .. yum girl.
Oh wow! These were delicious! I made them after seeing you post them on PW’s site and all I can say is WOW. Hubby took them to work in little treat bags and got rave reviews! Making another batch today for my work :) Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!!
I saw this recipe on PW and had to try it. This past weekend was cookie baking and we made these.
I managed to overcook them because when I checked them first they did not seem to be even close and next time I checked they were overdone.
They are still delicious although a little dry. I am looking forward to making them again.
Wait, wait – I tried to go fetch and couldn’t get to Pioneer Woman. What on earth??? Lemme guess – the site collapsed from all the hits on The Bar?
I made these with the plan to share with our friends and family…somehow I “forgot” to include The Bar in any of the goodie boxes we prepared. Mwahh ha haha ha, all mine! They are delicious and with all the nuts and dates I just pretend they are healthy too.
I hope they like them! Oh, and it might be a good idea to make sure the little one isn’t allergic to nuts first. I wouldn’t want his first taste of these bars to be tainted. :)
I wish I knew anything about baking too. :) Seriously, these are easy to make.
So glad you liked it, Lisa! And I can’t tell you how cool it is to think of these bars being sent so far away. Awesome!
Sigh. I love polvoron. I wonder if I can get one of those polvoron gizmos here, to shape them properly. Because I’m sure that, if I had to do it freehand, they’d resemble nothing that I’ve seen before. :)
Jodie, I thought your post was awesome, and I want one of those whisks. :)
Haha! Good one, Gerry. I’d say “In my dreams!” but even my dreams have at least some element of reality to them. :)
