Another day, another holiday. Today is National Molasses Bar Day! Molasses is one of those products that not everyone uses any more, but I think you will when you taste these Molasses Chocolate Chip Bars. There are many different wonderful brands of molasses. Be sure to use unsulphured. Try a few different ones for flavor.
