Here's my recipe for lemon bars--my Mom's--and it's good! "Not good for a diet though," moans Bess Marvin! It's no wonder Nancy Drew always remained forever slim and attractive, she had the benefit of sleuthercise! Chasing down crooks in dark alleys and climbing lots of ladders and stairs in her signature heels--where can we sign up for that exercise class? Sign me up, I'm there!
"Movie Star Lemon Bars"

I would really like to find information on how to make a sleuthing kit like the one in the movie. My 7-year old daughter would flip for it. I tried to study it during the movie but just couldnt get a long enough look at it. My daughter is using tote bags and what not but how fun it would be to make something close to the moview version. And of course she wants to be ND for Halloween. We already bought a wide headband at Target right after the movie!
Anyone have other ideas for a Nancy Drew costume? I'm 9 years old and I have one good thing that just might come in handy. I have a sky blue overcoat that looks detective style. My friend had a birthday party resently and the goodie bag was a ND kit. It had a roll of strong string, a mini flashlight on a string, a plastic compas that could click on things,and afew other dodads.
What's the recipe for the other bars that nancy gave to the man at the record hall?
Cute idea to buy the headband! They are very popular right now. I have some info on the Sleuth Kits at the Sleuths' website:

In the fun stuff section: activities.
There are also some costume ideas there too.
I don't have a recipe for the other bars--Blondies--but google that and you'll probably come up with lots of good ones.
