Rhubarb Dream Bars Using 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST LAYER:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all purpose flour

FOR THE FILLING LAYER:

2 medium size eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups fresh, chopped rhubarb (about 1/4" - 1/2" size pieces)

Homemade Rhubarb Bars - Baked Dessert Squares

Directions

FOR THE CRUST LAYER:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Line the bottom of an 8" x 8" glass baking dish with parchment paper, bringing it up the sides so that the bars are easily removed from the dish after baking.

In a large bowl, using a fork, mix together the butter and the sugar, and then add the flour. The mixture will be crumbly.

Press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes.

(The crust will still be light in colour after it is baked.)

FOR THE FILLING LAYER:

While the crust is baking in the same bowl, beat the eggs using an electric hand mixer.

Add the sugar and beat until well mixed.

Allow the mixture to stand for about 5 - 10 minutes and beat again.

Mix in the flour and the salt and mix for about 5 minutes. (The granulated sugar should be less obvious at this point, mostly dissolved into the mixture. This will help to prevent the meringue type topping from cracking too much :)

Using a spatula, fold in the chopped rhubarb.

Pour onto the hot crust layer and continue to bake for 40 - 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden in colour.

Remove from oven, and allow to cool.

Remove the parchment paper and cut into bars using a sharp knife (if it helps, you can also dip the knife in hot water from time to time while cutting the bars).

ENJOY!
