Candy bees sit comfortably atop a honey almond iced shortbread cookie. Palatable Pastime For this month's #FilltheCookieJar I wanted to do something very Springlike, along with getting a chance to use one of my flower cookie cutters, so after seeing someone somewhere craft a bee out of a jelly bean, thought it would be perfect with Easter coming up. Especially when you top it with a honey almond topping, which gives this bar its name. It's a spin off a German cake called Bienenstich (bee sting). Bees will make a, well, beeline to this beauty with silvery leaves and pretty purple flowers.
