I remember mom making these Honey Spice Bars in the Fall a lot since I was little.  She was given this recipe from an elderly lady at our church in Holdenville, Oklahoma, where my dad was preaching at the local Church of Christ at the time.  We have so many great memories of our time in Oklahoma and collected a lot of delicious recipes from the great cooks there.

Honey Spice Bars are iced with a thin layer of icing that has a very unusual ingredient – mayonnaise!  Now, before you think “yuck”, just know that it works and you don’t taste a mayonnaisy taste at all. The icing is poured on while the Honey Spice Bars are still hot, allowing you to easily spread a thin layer evenly over the top. Once cooled the icing forms a crust and seals in the moisture of the bars. 

Have you ever made Honey Spice Bars? I have seen an Amish recipe floating out there that uses walnuts. I don't see this recipe very often and am just wondering who out there has eaten them or made them.

    Oh how I love these! I use to make a similar recipe – without the honey and with added cloves – many years ago, so I dug out my old recipe and revised it using yours, and honey. They were divine…I could have eaten the whole panfull by myself (they are thin after all=) Thanks so much for sharing!

      Hi there! I’m so glad you tried this version and liked it! Yes, they are thin, so I don’t worry about how many I gobble up! Lol!
