Pear Squares

ok, so Ron dated this girl that I wasn't too crazy about. Ok, actually...i just didn't like her (sorry ron). One thing that i think everyone agreed upon was the fact that this girl could BAKE. she made the most amazing things. Two things off the top of my head that I like to use from her are the caramel popcorn cereal and her pear square recipe.
