Butter Tart Squares

The original source of this recipe is Grand Slam from the Best of Bridge Series. This series is a staple in my house as my Grandmother cooked out of these recipe books so there are many familiar meals that have come from them. I absolutely love the Best of Bridge Cookbooks! They are entertaining (there are hilarious quotes and sayings throughout the book) and have many incredible recipes.

Everyone devoured these squares! Even my brother in law who doesn't love sweet desserts! That has got to say something.
