Carrie cooked up Ooey Gooey bars for Neil Patrick Harris. Since she made such huge batch, she sent him home with a bag of extras (mostly the edges, since those are his favorite).
Mariana said that after her shoot was finished, Blair Underwood, his mom, and the rest of their family all sat down to eat the casserole that she prepared. They told her: “It was so good you just put your foot in it.” That’s as good as it gets!
