It's Valentine's Day ~ seems like the perfect time to share the recipe for Blissful Bars.
My son~in~law loves these so much,
Kaysie says he actually hides them in the garage when I send a plate home for him!
Maybe I will re-name them...
Todd's Blissful Bars
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup butter (softened)
2 extra large eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups craisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 11 x 15 glass baking dish.
Cream sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla.
Beat in flour, baking powder & salt.
Stir in chips, craisins & nuts.
Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake until golden brown, 20 ~ 22 minutes.
(if you use a 9 x 13 it takes about 30 minutes)
Be careful not to overbake, you want them to be moist and chewy.
When they have cooled, frost them with
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Cream ingredients together until smooth. If it's too stiff,
add a few drops of milk to make it spreadable.
Sprinkle some chopped nuts on top, cut into squares & enjoy!
...Just don't let Todd know you made them:)
Have a very, vonderful Valentine's Day~
