Brown Sugar Squares

This dessert is easy to make, but a little messy to eat. When I made this recipe, they came out a bit gooey and did not hold their shape well. Nevertheless, these Brown Sugar Squares are quite delicious and worth trying. 

The recipe calls for using an eight-inch square pan. I did not have that size pan handy, so I used a slightly smaller pan, resulting in taller bars. The change in pan might have caused the gooey outcome. While baking, it seemed as if the batter remained liquid, but right at the end of the time, the batter seemed to solidify a bit more and a toothpick inserted in the middle came out clean. It is possible that I should have left the pan in the oven for a few more minutes to have a less gooey outcome, so I guess I will have to try this recipe again to find out.
