These are amazingly good and simple to make. They are a nice alternative to brownies.

List of Ingredients

Crust:
1-1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 Tblsp. sugar
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
2 Tblsp. all purpose flour

1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar

Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare the crust by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter and flour in a mixing bowl until moist and crumbly. Press the mixture firmly and evenly in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Prepare topping: Stir all the ingredients together until blended. Spread the topping over the baked crust and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut into 16 squares.
