Origin Lemon Oatmeal Bars

These bars are inspired by classic lemon squares but feature a heartier oat base for extra texture and flavor. Think of them as part cookie, part crumble, and part lemon bar all in one.

What I Love About This Recipe

They’re simple to assemble, freeze beautifully, and strike the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Plus, your kitchen will smell amazing while they bake!

Origin French Silk Pie Bars

French Silk Pie was first created in the United States in the 1950s, inspired by the rich textures of French desserts. Traditionally made with a buttery crust and a velvety chocolate filling, this pie has been transformed into easy-to-serve bars, perfect for parties and gatherings.

What I Love About This Recipe

The combination of the crisp chocolate crust with the airy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate mousse is heavenly. The whipped topping adds just the right amount of lightness, making it a perfect balance of textures. I also love how these bars are easier to serve than a traditional pie, making them ideal for sharing.
