These pictures got lost in the shuffle and I never posted one of my VERY favorite recipes. ...I'll never forget my first Poe Thanksgiving when I tried these for the first time!!! Mimi's Apricot Bars are always the most coveted item on the Thanksgiving menu. I seriously can't imagine Thanksgiving without them and Mimi always makes a TON to appease all of her fans. ...It's a tradition that will continue for always and a recipe that will ALWAYS make my mouth water! 
Mimi's Famous Apricot Bars1 box of graham crackers
