"I use Buttercream Frosting to top these bars, and if I am making them for the holidays I add food coloring to the mixture and then after I frost the tops of the bars I sprinkle on holiday or colored sprinkles representing the holiday. Everyone loves to receive these when I make them for my holiday cookie platters. The size of the bars will yield different amounts, depending on how big you cut them, so my serving size is approximate."
