Eggnog Dessert Bars
The holiday season brings joy, happiness, and…eggnog! As soon as I see cartons of Hiland Dairy Old Fashioned Egg Nog at my local grocery store, I make a beeline for the tasty drink. In fact, I usually start baking my favorite Eggnog Dessert Bars the same day. This is a treat that doesn’t last long around our house!
