Easy, easy appetizer for spring

Hospitality is in my DNA. I founded Home with a Twist, a daughter’s twist on her mother’s traditions, in memory of my mother to celebrate her life and the gifts she shared with me. Mother loved to celebrate life’s occasions – big and small.She taught me how to prepare fabulous food, entertain guests with style and design a traditional home with a pop of color and a splash of animal print.

🍫🍫🍫 Comment BROWNIE, and I`ll send you the recipe. My sister taught me this trick of adding a Hershey`s Symphony milk chocolate bar for a surprise, decadent gooey layer. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you`ve got the perfect dessert. So easy!
Make these for your mom, and you`ll move right to the top as the favorite.😊

Lemon Bar Recipe 🍋🍋🍋 comment LEMON, and I`ll send you the recipe!
This is one of my go-to treats for wedding and baby showers, and really, anytime I want a tart and sweet bite of lemon curd. And they are so pretty on a cake plate.

Do you love lemon bars like I do?
