When it comes to baked holiday confections, any cookie in the form of a bar or square always seems to taste a little better than a round cookie. Mostly, this is attributed to the fact that bars and squares have layers or frosting, making the flavours more complex and delicious. 12 Bars and Squares of Christmas is a collection with at least one for every taste or preference!
About a month ago, I published 12 Bars and Squares of Christmas. It was a Lord Byron’s Kitchen holiday series – much like the many I have shared over the past few years. I published one recipe each day for 12 consecutive days, and just like when each series ends, I’m placing all of the recipes from that series into one post.
I do this because it’s easy to miss a recipe, especially when there are 12 of them day after day. Not everyone has time to check out a recipe every day. And, not everyone who reads my recipes has subscribed to my blog. Lastly, rather than having you search for each of the recipes, it’s easier just to scroll down one page and see them all at once.
On the backend, I’ve done all the work for you. As soon as you see a picture of a bar or square that you like, just click on the green highlighted box that says “CHECK OUT THE RECIPE.” A new window will open in your browser so that you don’t lose your place on this page. No searching, no downloading, each and every recipe is just a click away. Let’s get to it!

STORING, PACKAGING, & FREEZING
Most bars and squares can be frozen for long periods of time. If you plan to freeze them, pile them into a clean, food-safe container. The container must be freezer friendly! You’ll want to ensure a very tight-fitting lid too. I use these quite often when freezing baked goods. I like to place a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the container before pushing the lid on. This helps to create a better seal. The goal is to keep all of that freshness locked in! You can freeze most bars and squares for up to three months. Each individual recipe in this collection will tell you whether or not freezing is a good idea.
