Two things.
1. Mud Hen Bars. What a fun name! Where does it come from? What in the Lord's name about this makes it "mud hen"y? I really don't know. But I like it.
2.These pictures are awful. They do these delish. bars no justice. Stupid old camera.
Anyway, mud hen bars are really cool. They're like...a sugar cookie, with chocolate chips and marshmallows, with this crunchy, yummy, brown sugar meringue on top. They were not one of my mostest favoritest desserts, however, they were tasty, and Michael liked them, and I think they'd be great to serve at a party (if I ever went to parties :P).

- In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.
