maple bars.

i have little self control when it comes to maple bars. wait.....maybe i should rephrase that..... i have NO self control when it comes to maple bars. i blame my mother... or maybe i should thank her. she said that when she was pregnant with me she ate doughnuts all the time.
living in the village i don't have access to maple bars whenever my heart desires... and today was one of those days where i sure wanted one with my cuppa. so i decided i'd go for it and try to make my own. i was kinda nervous about it. i'd never attempted doughnuts before. (fry bread one time, but i was only a helper) the task seemed daunting.
so having never made these before, i was preparing myself for disappointment. i was in no way, shape, or form expecting them to be as good and glorious as a bakery maple bar. but can i just tell you friends, i surprised myself to almost tears, in utter disbelief, as i bit into my first ever morimade maple bar! it was GOOD! so so good. dangerously good! oh my!!
i found the recipe here.

Those look amazing!! My first doughnut memories are with your mom too! I remember when she would pick up Dana & I from school, and take us down to some place on Front Street to get a doughnut before going home!
