Bars. Shorthand for bar cookies. A sweet treat baked in a shallow
baking pan and cut into bar-like pieces, though they are often cut into
squares. And some bars are not baked or otherwise cooked.

Rhonda's been a generous and gracious translator of Aussie-speak for us
for years; we've seen the term 'slice' here before. 'Squares,' too, I
believe you sometimes call them.
