Inexpensive Dessert for Holiday Parties

This time of year can be exhausting. It seems that every time we turn around, we have another holiday party and we need to bring some kind of food item. I normally opt for dessert - it usually costs less! And this one contains ingredients I always have on hand. (With the added bonus that it does not contain chocolate - which costs more and which I cannot resist as well.) Here's one of my inexpensive faves -

Molasses Squares
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. molasses
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs

Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl; beat well. Pour into greased and floured pan. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

We should do a recipe swap! I've got some inexpensive and easy recipes for appetizers, sides and desserts that I'll gather together for you. That way you can mix it up a bit when you have a potluck to attend.
