Mango Bars

---

We had a luau potluck over the weekend and these bars were brought by a friend. she got the recipe out of a church cookbook from hawaii. these were served warm almost like an apple crisp and i think a scoop of ice cream would have been perfect...they were more like a dessert when served warm but more of a bar" when cooled."
