Fig Squares Recipe

	Pat2me / All my dishes 1 year ago An easy delicious dessert or snack! Yes, this crust has lard......I absolutely agree....it is NOT healthy. It does, however, make the tastiest, most tender crust you will ever have.........and if you don't eat it all the time, it's okay once in awhile. Prep time includes crust prep....

sayyyyyy-- can't you use Crisco instead? I know lard has a marvelous effect on recipes, but it's tough on the ol' intestinal tubing!
