This easy to make, 6-ingredient recipe for The Best Brownie Frosting makes enough thick chocolate icing for a 9x13 pan of your favorite brownies!

In our home, we LOVE brownies!  Typically I make them from scratch (see my recipe here), but occasionally I make them using a box mix, if I find an incredible SALE! Then I purchase a few boxes to keep around… in case of “must have chocolate” emergencies!

Once I make brownies, I love to put yummy chocolate frosting on them for a perfect finishing touch! My husband likes his brownies without frosting… NOT ME! How can he possibly not like more creamy chocolate spread all over the top of a chocolate brownie? I suppose that is one of life’s great mysteries. But I digress… so… back to the recipe.

Well, THIS recipe for the best brownie frosting is my favorite, because it’s super easy,  only has a few ingredients, and needs no special equipment to make. Just stir the ingredients up, and you’re done! Spread it on a pan of freshly made brownies, and enjoy! Here’s how to whip up a batch, which is enough to frost a 9×13″ pan full of brownies!

How To Make The Best Brownie Frosting

Place softened, room temperature butter (NOT melted), unsweetened cocoa powder, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium sized bowl. Honey can be substituted for the corn syrup, if desired.

Stir these ingredients well with a spoon. That’s right, there’s no need for an electric mixer! Just keep on stirring until it comes together into a thick dark brown mixture.

Ingredients are mixed together in a small bowl for the brownie frosting.Once mixed together, the frosting becomes dark brown in color.

Now add the powdered sugar into the bowl, along with 2-3 Tablespoons of milk. Give the frosting a good stir until this also is completely mixed together. You will want the best brownie frosting to be thick, creamy and spreadable. If you find it is too thick, add a couple drops more of the milk.  If you get it too thin, simply add just a bit more powdered sugar.

Powdered sugar and a small amount of milk are mixed into the best brownie frosting.Now the icing is ready to spread on baked and cooled brownies.

Spread The Frosting Out On A Pan Of Brownies

Once you’ve made your pan of brownies, whether they are homemade or a box mix, remove the brownies from the oven, and LET THEM COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE FROSTING. Don’t frost while the brownies are warm, because that will end up making the softened butter in the frosting melt, which then changes the texture of the frosting. NO good.

A 9x13 pan of brownies, covered with the best brownie frosting!

Once the brownies are completely covered with the best brownie frosting, let them rest for about 15 minutes. This gives the frosting time to slightly firm up just a bit. Once they have “rested” (it’s so exhausting being a brownie, right?), slice and serve your brownies!

Here are the brownies, covered with the creamy chocolate frosting.

Hope you enjoy this wonderful creamy chocolate topping on your brownies! I’ve tried lots of homemade and canned frostings, and honestly still feel like this is the best brownie frosting ever! Enjoy… and have a GREAT day!

You'll love these EASY to make Triple Chip Bar Cookies, loaded with semi-sweet, white, and cinnamon chips- have a dozen treats ready to eat in about 30 minutes!

If you’re looking for a ridiculously simple and DELICIOUS dessert that is a snap to make, then look no further. Have I got a recipe idea for YOU! Filled with assorted chips, these amazing tasting bar cookies are packed with flavor! AND… (drum roll, please!)… they only took 10 minutes to get into the oven!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Triple Chip Bar Cookies

Before beginning to make batter, preheat oven to 350° F, and line an 8×8 baking dish with aluminum foil. Be sure to let the ends of the foil overlap and hang over the sides of the baking dish. This will help to lift the entire pan of bar cookies out of the dish after baking. Spray the foil (bottom and sides) with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together melted butter and brown sugar until blended.  I used a spoon- no need for a mixer.  Add egg and vanilla extract, stir until fully incorporated.Mixing batter for triple chip cookie bars.

Stir the flour, baking powder and salt into the batter.  Add assorted chocolate chips (I used white chocolate, cinnamon and semi-sweet chips… if you can’t find cinnamon chips at your store (sometimes they are seasonal), you can substitute butterscotch or peanut butter chips). Stir the batter until ingredients are fully combined.

Flour, mixture plus cinnamon, chocolate and white chips added to bar cookie batter.

Bake The Bar Cookies

Spread the batter into your prepared baking dish.  Bake triple chip bar cookies at 350° F. for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. You can also test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the middle top of the bar cookies. If it comes out clean with no dough on it, they are ready!

Since oven temperatures vary greatly, I recommend checking them at 20 minutes, then bake a few minutes longer, if necessary, to ensure they are baked through.

Foil lined and sprayed baking dish filled with triple chip bar cookie batter.

Once done, place the baking dish on a wire rack and let them cool for about 10 minutes.  Using the foil overhangs, carefully lift the entire pan of bar cookies out of the dish and place (still on the foil) onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Once cool, cut into 12 equal sized squares. I find that using a pizza slicer works great to cut the bars quickly and cleanly, but it’s not necessary to use one!

Triple chip bar cookies are cut into 12 pieces with pizza cutter.

Time To Serve These Triple Chip Bar Cookies

And just like that, in about 30 minutes from start to finish, you can have some really delicious triple chip bar cookies!  I personally think they taste best at room temperature!

Triple chip bar cookies are served on a light green plate.

The triple chip bar cookies freeze well, too, so if you have any leftovers (notice I said “IF”), wrap them very well in aluminum foil and save a few for a rainy day! My husband poured a cold glass of milk and gobbled up two of these treats before I knew what happened!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosted Krispy Bars

The traditional snack or dessert treat of families everywhere gets an update in this delicious recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispy Bars!The traditional snack or dessert treat of families everywhere gets an update in this delicious recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispy Bars!

I made these dessert snack bars about a month ago, while trying to think of a way to make Krispy treats with a twist.  I slightly tweaked a recipe for the bars I found on a box of puffed rice cereal (a generic brand), then came up with a simple, quick and easy chocolate peanut butter topping for the bars, that would add another layer of flavor!

They turned out GREAT!  The addition of chocolate and peanut butter… really yummy! One of my favorite flavor combinations!!!  Even my hubby (who doesn’t typically like plain rice “krispy” treats) kept getting into these treats, once made!  They are really very simple to prepare… here’s how!

Scroll Down for A Printable Recipe Card At The Top Of the Page

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispy Bars

Butter bottom and sides of a 9×13 rimmed pan, then set aside.  Measure and pour krispy cereal into large mixing bowl; set aside. Place butter, peanut butter, vanilla and marshmallows in a large saucepan. Cook on low until these ingredients have completely melted, stirring often to prevent sticking (sorry, no picture).

Once completely blended and smooth, remove from stove and pour immediately over krispy cereal. Stir very well, to fully coat cereal with marshmallow mixture.  Pour the mixture into the buttered 9×13 inch rimmed pan. Press down on the mixture with your fingers, spreading it out to cover the entire pan. Press hard to compress the layer. Let cool.

Krispy bars pressed into pan, ready for chocolate peanut butter frosting

While krispy bars are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, melt together butter, peanut butter, and cocoa powder until completely smooth.

Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract, then add powdered sugar and enough milk (approx 2-3 Tablespoons plus) to make the frosting easily spreadable.

Pour the frosting over the surface of the krispy bars, then quickly spread to fully cover the entire top.

Ready To Cut Into Bars

This is how it looks once all the frosting is evenly spread over top surface. This will cover it all with a thin layer of frosting. NOTE: If you want a THICKER layer of frosting, simple double the ingredients! Use a knife to cut into 24 bars. Once cut, let the frosted bars sit for a while to let the frosting firm up a bit.

Now We’re Ready To EAT!

All that’s left to do is grab one… and take a big bite! Want one? There’s plenty for everyone, and I enjoy sharing.

Holding krispy bar above platter of goodies

The bars are chewy, and have a wonderful chocolate peanut butter flavor… a perfect after school treat or after dinner dessert bar! Try not to eat them all at one time!

Hope you enjoy these simple, delicious treats!  Have a GREAT day… and thank God for each and every breath you have been given – it truly is a gift!

Blackberry Pie Bars

You’ll LOVE these delicious dessert Blackberry Pie Bars, made with fresh juicy blackberries baked on a shortbread crust, with a buttery streusel crumb topping.You'll LOVE these delicious dessert Blackberry Pie Bars, made with fresh juicy blackberries baked on a shortbread crust, with a buttery streusel crumb topping.
It’s THAT time of the summer when fresh berries are making their annual appearance all around the Pacific Northwest. The other day I picked 4 quarts of fresh blackberries that were growing wild in our neighborhood, and made these fantastic tasting Blackberry Pie Bars! It’s nice to pick wild blackberries (for FREE), and then use them to create a special “something” that my husband and I can enjoy AND I can give to others.

This recipe makes 24 bars, so I kept a few for us, then gave away 2 big plates of them to our sons and another friend. The Blackberry Pie Bars are delicious; they do taste like you’re eating a piece of pie!

How To Make Blackberry Pie Bars

Place flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and lemon zest into a food processor. Pulse these together a couple times to mix. *Don’t have a food processor? No problem… just use a hand held pastry blender.

Flour, lemon zest, cinnamon, etc. mixed in food processor for blackberry bar base

Add egg, butter, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Pulse again until the mixture is crumbly (and the butter is in small pieces).

Butter, egg, vanilla added to ingredients in food processor

Put half of the crumbly dough into a prepared 13×9 inch pan. (either sprayed with non-stick spray, OR in a 13×9 pan that is covered with parchment paper with paper hanging over the edges.

This is what I do, and it makes lifting the entire pan of bars out very easy, once cooled!)  Pack down the crumbs with your hands, until it forms a solid crust.

Crumbled ingredients (before baking) form base for bar cookies
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Add the fresh blackberries, and stir gently until the berries are coated.

Blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in large bowl

Evenly spoon out the blackberry mixture over the crust.

Blackberry filling spread out over bar cookie base in baking pan

Sprinkle the remaining half of the crumb mixture over the top of the berries, to cover the surface of the bars.  

Crumb mixture spread over blackberry pie filling before baking

Bake The Blackberry Pie Bars

Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until the crumb topping is lightly browned. When done, remove the pan from the oven. Let the blackberry pie bars cool completely, while still in the pan.

Once cool, if using parchment paper, lift out the entire pan of bars. Pull paper away from the sides of the dessert. If not using parchment paper, let blackberry pie bars cool completely, then cut.

Blackberry pie bars are removed from pan after baking

The best way I have found to make even cuts is by using my pizza cutter! Make 4 cuts lengthwise, then make 6 cuts the other direction, for a total of 24 bars.

Servings: 24 bars

Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest and juice from 1 lemon (divided)
  • 1 cup (2 cubes) cold butter (cut into 1 inch slices)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
  1. Before beginning, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper and spray the bottom. Make sure to leave parchment paper extended over the edges, so you can lift out the entire pan of bars once cooled. (If not using parchment paper, simply spray baking pan with non-stick spray).
  2. Place flour, 1 CUP of the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and lemon zest into a food processor. Pulse a couple times to mix. Add egg, butter, and vanilla extract. Pulse the mixture until dough gets crumbly (and butter is size of small peas).
  3. Put HALF of the dough mixture into the baking pan. Pat down with fingers to form a solid crust. Set aside the rest of the mixture to use for the crumb topping.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rest of the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Add the blackberries, and stir gently to fully coat berries. Spoon the blackberries over the crust in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top of the berries.
  5. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes (or until the topping is golden brown). Remove to a wire rack. COOL COMPLETELY before lifting the bar cookies out of the pan (using the parchment paper).
  6. Cut into serving sizes. (It is easy to cut into bars if you use a pizza cutter!) Enjoy!
Recipe Notes

I cut the bars lengthwise into 4 sections, then cut 6 pieces in each section, for a total of 24 bars (each about 2 inches)

JB’s Best Brownies

JB’s Best Brownies are amazing! These classic bar cookies are easy to make, chewy, moist, and fudgey, and taste fantastic – with or without frosting!JB's Best Brownies are amazing! These classic bar cookies are easy to make, chewy, moist, and fudgey, and taste fantastic - with or without frosting!

About 25 years ago, I started making this recipe for brownies. I truthfully have no recollection of how or where I stumbled upon this recipe. But two things I DO know… my nickname is JB… and these are my very best brownies!  There you have it… JB’s Best Brownies!

Truly these are amazingly good brownies! I’ve published the recipe before in a couple of school cookbooks and have received several notes from people telling me that JB’s Best Brownies are their favorite brownies! They are so very easy to make. **NOTE: I WAS MAKING A DOUBLE BATCH WHEN I TOOK THESE PHOTOS). Recipe as written below, is for single batch.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make JB’s Best Brownies

Blend the butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl (no need for a mixer, just use a wooden spoon). Add eggs. Mix well by hand until all ingredients are fully combined.

Eggs, sugar, vanilla in bowl to begin making batter for brownies.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir dry ingredients into the batter.

Flour, cocoa, and other dry ingredients are added to the batter.

Add the chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), if using. Stir the batter well, to combine.

Chopped pecans (or walnuts) are added, and stirred into the batter.

 

A Helpful Tip For Making JB’s Best Brownies

Spread the batter for JB’s best brownies into a greased 9″ square pan (or if doubling recipe – use a 9×13 pan). It’s very helpful to line the baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper is extended over the edges of pan, and sprayed with non-stick spray. You can see this in the photo below.

Once brownies have cooled, you can lift out the entire tray of JB’s best brownies by using the parchment paper and lifting them out. They will be much easier to frost, cut and serve this way, but is not necessary. If you are NOT using parchment paper, you only need to spray your baking pan with non-stick spray, fill with batter, and bake.

The batter for JB's best brownies is added to a parchment paper lined baking pan.Time To Bake!

Bake the brownies at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Start checking them around the 20 minute mark (times will vary depending on size of pan you are using). A toothpick inserted into middle of pan should come out clean when done. Once brownies are done, remove the pan from oven, to a wire rack, to cool.

Brownies are removed from oven after baking, to cool.

Make The Frosting

While JB’s best brownies are baking, you can make the creamy chocolate frosting. Cream together softened butter, cocoa, corn syrup and vanilla. You can mix this easily with a spoon, because no mixer is needed.

Frosting ingredients for JB's best brownies in a small blue bowl.

A thick chocolate frosting for the brownies is mixed together easily.
Add the powdered sugar to the frosting mixture. Mix the frosting very well, to combine. Add 1-2 Tablespoons milk (and a little more, if needed), to make a thick, spreadable frosting for the brownies.

Powdered sugar is added to frosting for JB's best brownies, until smooth and creamy.

Frost The Brownies

Once JB’s best brownies have completely cooled, they are ready to frost. If you used parchment paper in the baking pan, gently and carefully lift the entire pan of brownies out of the pan by holding the edges of parchment paper and lifting.

Evenly spread the frosting over the cooled brownies, then let them rest for 10-15 minutes (if you can wait!). Cut JB’s best brownies into desired serving sizes, and serve!

JB's best brownies are frosted, sliced, and ready to eat!

Make Them Frosted Or Unfrosted!

I love frosted brownies, but my husband doesn’t like frosting on his. Soooo… I make a double batch, then only frost HALF the brownies, so we are BOTH happy! Here’s an “up close and personal” view of an un-frosted brownie. This is my husband’s preferred way of eating them.

JB's Best Brownies can also be made and eaten, WITHOUT frosting.

Shown below is an “up close and personal” view of one of the brownies with frosting.  YAY! I’m being serious about the frosted kind, because they are my absolute favorite! These delicious bar cookies are chewy, very chocolatey, and have bits of nuts in them.. Oh my goodness. They are so good!

Enjoy JB’s best brownies with a good cold glass of milk. Yum.  Good thing I don’t make them too often, because I could eat the whole pan! No… really!

  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoons light corn syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions

  2. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir dry ingredients into the batter. Add chopped nuts, if using. Stir well, to combine.
  3. It's EASY to lift pan of brownies out of pan to frost and cut if you line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving edges of paper hanging over the side of pan. Spray the parchment paper with non-stick spray. If not using parchment paper, just spray baking pan. Spread batter into prepared 9" square pan (or if doubling recipe - use a 9x13 pan). Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into middle of pan should come out clean when done.
Make frosting while brownies are cooking:

Once brownies have cooled completely, you can lift out the entire tray of brownies by holding the parchment paper and carefully lifting them out. They will be much easier to frost, cut and serve this way, but is not necessary.
  2. Once brownies have COMPLETELY cooled, you can frost them, let them sit for a bit, then slice and serve!
Recipe Notes

9x9 pan yields 12 small brownies or 9 medium sized brownies.
If recipe is doubled, a 13x9 pan yields 24 small or 12 large brownies (large ones are in my photos). I double the recipe a lot (we love brownies!). If you double recipe, it will fill a 9x13 pan with no trouble. Continue to check for "done-ness" beginning around the 20 minute mark.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars

Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars are creamy dessert bars with fresh strawberries and rhubarb filling on a rich, buttery crust. Recipe makes 16 treats.Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars are creamy dessert bars with fresh strawberries and rhubarb filling on a rich, buttery crust. Recipe makes 16 treats.
I love Spring, when it seems like everything is blooming and growing! From flowers to garden vegetables AND our lawns (which constantly seem to need mowing)…I love it all! Spring is also time for delicious fresh strawberries, rhubarb… and Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars!

I grow rhubarb and strawberries in our garden, so I’m always on the prowl for new recipes to use them in. I found the recipe for these sweet/tangy dessert bars on Pinterest and decided to make them. YUM! They are really quite good. The bars have a creamy strawberry-rhubarb filling on a shortbread-style crust, and are absolutely delicious!

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At the Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. The crust ingredients are placed in a food processor (or can be mixed with a pastry blender) and mixed until the butter has become fine crumbs.

The crumbs are then placed into an 8×8 (or an 8×10) baking pan that is lined with parchment paper. Let the parchment paper extend over the edges of pan, so you can easily lift out the bars when cool. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan, forming a packed down crust. Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven.

Crust ingredients, including butter, are mixed in a food processor.The processed crust mixture is placed in a parchment paper-lined baking dish.The crumbles are patted down into the baking dish, to form a bottom crust.

Time To Make The Filling!

While the crust is baking, make the filling. Make the filling by mixing together the eggs, granulated sugar, flour and salt. There is no mixer required… just whisk or stir this mixture with a spoon until blended.

Eggs, flour, sugar and salt are combined to start making the filling.
Gently stir the diced strawberries and rhubarb into the filling, until well combined.

Chopped rhubarb and strawberries are added to the filling ingredients.Filling for the Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars is now fully blended together.

Once you remove the crust from oven, pour the strawberry-rhubarb mixture on top of the hot crust. Spread the filling evenly across the baked crust.

The filling is poured onto the top of the hot, baked crust.The strawberry and rhubarb filling is spread over the crust before baking.

Bake The Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars

Put the pan back into the oven and continue to bake the dream bars for an additional 40-45 minutes. When the strawberry-rhubarb dream bars are done, remove pan from oven, and let them cool completely.

Once cool, transfer the bars out of the pan by lifting up the parchment paper.  Top the dessert bars with sifted powdered sugar.

Powdered sugar is sifted over the baked dream bars.

Slice And SERVE!

Once you’ve covered the bars with sifted powdered sugar, slice into 16 individual portions. I like using a pizza cutter to do this, but a really sharp knife will work just as well!

Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars are sliced into 16 portions for serving.

That’s it! Now you’ve just made 16 creamy and delicious, Strawberry-Rhubarb Dream Bars. I love the flavor combo of strawberries and rhubarb (have you tried Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?). The combo of strawberries and rhubarb pair very well in this easy dessert! Now all that’s left is to grab one, take a big bite, and ENJOY!

An inside look at the dream bars, once cut. YUM!

I sincerely hope you have a wonderful day, and enjoy each moment you are gifted with. I am so very thankful for this season of Spring, and new life springing up from what once was dormant… in nature, and in my own heart (through faith in Jesus). Be blessed!

Servings: 16 bars
Calories Per Serving: 178 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
For The Crust:
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (chilled)
For The Filling:
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups diced fresh rhubarb
  • 3/4 cup diced fresh strawberries
For garnish:
  • Powdered sugar (sifted)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Using parchment paper, line the bottom of an 8x8 or a 8x10 inch baking pan. Let the parchment paper overlap (extend over) the sides of pan, so you will be able to lift out the entire dessert later.
Make the crust:
  1. Place the flour, granulated sugar and butter into a food processor. Pulse until butter has been reduced to small crumbs throughout.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Make filling:
  1. While crust is baking, prepare the filling by mixing the eggs, granulated sugar, flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Once creamy, gently stir in diced strawberries and rhubarb until blended. Once crust comes out of the oven, pour filling on top of hot crust. Distribute filling evenly. Place back into the oven and cook for another 40-45 minutes (mine took entire 45 minutes). When done, remove pan from oven. Let cool completely (in pan). Once cool, lift the entire dessert out of baking pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Remove parchment paper from sides.
  2. Sift powdered sugar over the top of the dessert. Slice into 16 bars; Serve and enjoy!

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars… for the win! These delicious treats, with a chewy chocolate and pecan pie filling on a shortbread crust, will be a big hit at your next potluck, family dinner, or get together!

Have mercy… the recipe makes 2 dozen of these decadent goodies! They combine the rich flavor of pecan pie with chocolate, in a chewy bar cookie. With that flavor combo, it’s no wonder these chocolate pecan pie bars taste fantastic!

Scroll Down for A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

How To Make Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Before starting, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the crust ingredients. You can use either a mixer on medium speed OR a pastry blender. Mix the shortbread crust ingredients until crumbly.

Mixing the shortbread crust ingredients for chocolate pecan pie bars.

Line a 9×13 baking pan with aluminum foil, making sure the edges completely overlap all sides of the pan. You will need the edges to lift out the bars from the pan after baking. Spray the aluminum foil (bottom and sides) with a non-stick cooking spray.

Pour the shortbread crust mixture into the prepared pan. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into pan to form a solid crust on the bottom.

The shortbread crust crumbles are placed in foil lined baking sheet.

 

Bake The Shortbread Crust

Bake the shortbread crust in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Shortbread crust for chocolate pecan pie bars is patted down to form crust.

When done, remove the baking pan from the oven. This is what the shortbread crust should look like, right out of the oven.

The crust for the chocolate pecan pie bars is baked until golden.

Prepare The Chocolate Filling

While the crust is baking, heat the corn syrup and chocolate chips in medium pan on LOW heat. Do NOT fully melt chocolate chips. NOTE: You only want to heat this mixture until the chocolate is almost melted. Immediately remove pan from heat.

Chocolate chips and corn syrup is heated in pan for chocolate pecan pie bars filling.

This is what it looked like when I removed the pan from the heat. Notice how the chocolate is NOT fully melted. Set aside.

Chocolate is only melted part way for filling for chocolate pecan pie bars.

Finish Making The Batter For The Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar, eggs, and the almond and vanilla extracts. Add this to the (slightly cooled) chocolate mixture, whisking continuously as you add it. Make sure to whisk so the eggs will not scramble when added to the warm chocolate in pan.

Eggs, sugar, and extracts are added to chocolate pecan pie filling in pan.

The next thing you need to do is stir in the chopped pecans.

Chopped pecans are added to chocolate pecan pie bars filling in pan.

Pour the mixture for the chocolate pecan pie bars on top of the cooked crust. Be sure to spread the filling evenly over the surface of the baked crust. Set the chocolate pecan pie bars aside.

The filling for chocolate pecan pie bars is poured onto crust in pan.

 

Bake The Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars

Mix up the topping ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and chopped pecans) in a small bowl. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top of the chocolate pecan pie filling before baking.

Put the pan into the oven and continue baking the bars for 35 minutes. When done, the outside edges of the bars will be firm, but the middle of the pan will be slightly soft. The chocolate pecan pie bars will firm up in the middle as they cool.

Crumbly topping is added to the top of the chocolate pecan pie bars in pan before baking.

This is what the chocolate pecan pie bars looked like when I took them out of the oven. Place the pan on wire rack to cool.  Let the chocolate pecan pie bars cool completely while still in the pan.

Once the bars have completely cooled, carefully lift entire pan of bars out of the dish, using the foil to easily lift up and out of pan.

Slice And Serve!

Peel away the sides of the foil from the bars. The easiest way I have found to cut the chocolate pecan pie bars is to use a pizza cutter! This makes it very easy to cut the cooled dessert into 24 bars.

They sure look good, don’t they? Well… guess what? THESE CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE BARS ARE FANTASTIC! Chewy, chocolatey pecan pie goodness right there, folks!

I gave some away to friends AND took some to a potluck we attended, but did manage to taste a sample. Boy are they good!!!

Instructions
  1. Before beginning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking dish with aluminum foil, being sure to leave foil hanging over the edges of pan.

When life hands you lemons, or in this case, when a sweet friend MAILS you lemons… make LEMON BARS for dessert! I have made them so many times over the years, and they are always a favorite!

These luscious lemon bars are a sweet, tart, and amazingly awesome dessert treat! We absolutely LOVE them, and I’m confident you will too. Here’s how to make them.

A Gift Of LEMONS!

A couple of months ago I mailed my life-long friend, Lenita, a box containing several jars of my homemade jams and jellies, as a gift. I had no idea that she would surprise me with a box of 6 of her prized Meyer lemons, picked from her very own tree in Southern California!

She mailed this box to me so it arrived just before Christmas.They were the most gorgeous lemons I have ever seen! Our son thought they were plastic, because they were so absolutely perfect!

This was for sure a Christmas MIRACLE! She also sent me the cool Homemade Jam Christmas ornament seen in the photo below.

I hung THAT on our tree and did not cook it in this recipe- (heh heh). Here’s my gift box… SEE-aren’t those lemons gorgeous?

I Used The Lemons To Make LEMON BARS!

I was giddy with excitement (who DOESN’T like to receive wonderful surprises in the mail?)! My next task was to come up with different ways to use these beauties, so they would not go to waste.

This recipe for lemon bars is one of the ways I used a portion of those lemons. For this particular recipe you will use the entire lemon, except for the seeds (duh!). 

The lemon bars are absolutely fantastic! Here’s some pics I took while making this scrumptious dessert:

Making The Bottom Crust For The Lemon Bars

Before making the crust, preheat your oven to 350°F. This crust doesn’t take long to make, so to save time, you will want the oven preheated and ready to go!

Place the ingredients for the bottom crust layer in a food processor, and then process the ingredients until they are combined into a crumbly dough mixture.

Form The Bottom Crust

Line an 8×8 pan with aluminum foil, leaving some to overhang on all 4 sides. You will be able to easily lift the entire pan of finished lemon bars out of the baking dish before serving.

Now it’s time to form the bottom crust layer. Transfer the crumbly dough from the food processor into the foil wrapped 8×8 pan.

Spread the dough firmly with your fingers until the crumbly dough has been compacted solidly together to form a bottom crust. Now it’s time to bake the crust!

Bake The Crust

Bake the crust in a preheated 350°F. oven for 20 minutes. When done, remove the baking dish from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack.

NOTE: After you bake the crust and remove the pan from the oven, reduce the oven heat to 300°F. This lower temperature is what you will need to bake the lemon bars.

Making The Filling for The Lemon Bars

While the bottom layer bakes, make the lemon filling for the lemon bars. Remove the lemon seeds, then place the cut up lemons in the food processor with granulated sugar.

Process the lemon and granulated sugar on high speed. The food processor does a great job of completely pulverizing the granulated sugar AND the entire lemon.

YES… you heard that right, friends! Use the WHOLE lemon (including the peel), because this provides maximum flavor for the lemon bars!

Once done with processing, be sure to check for any stray seeds that might have been stowaways and snuck into the mixture, and remove them.

Finish Making The Lemon Filling

Add lemon juice, eggs, melted butter (cooled) and cornstarch to the lemon filling in the food processor. Pulse all these ingredients until the lemon filling becomes very smooth in texture.

Carefully pour the lemon filling over the hot, baked crust. Now the lemon bars are ready to be baked.

Bake The Lemon Bars

 Bake the lemon bars at 300°F. for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is “set” and no longer “jiggly”. Once done, transfer the baking dish to a wire rack to cool.

Let the lemon bars cool completely to room temperature while still in the baking dish.

Refrigerate Lemon Bars Before Serving

Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours (or more) to allow the lemon bars to become firm before serving. Once refrigerated, remove the dish from the refrigerator.

Carefully lift the entire batch of lemon bars up and out of the baking dish using the aluminum foil overhanging the edges.

Peel back the foil and slice the lemon bars into 16 two inch squares. Okay…there’s only one final itty bitty step before serving these yummy bars.

Serve The Lemon Bars

Lightly sift some powdered sugar over the top of the lemon bars, immediately before they are served. Transfer the bars to a pretty platter, serve, and enjoy these mouth-watering dessert treats.

And just like that, these gorgeous lemon bars are ready to eat! Make sure any leftovers are kept refrigerated in a covered container, if you don’t eat them all in one sitting!

Ingredients
For The Crust:
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter , melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For The Filling:
  • 1 Meyer lemon (seeds removed) A regular lemon may be substituted.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled- I used fresh)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 Tablespoons butter , melted (then cooled to room temp.)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Cover an 8x8 baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving extra hanging over the edges on each side (this foil and foil overhang will help you to easily remove the entire pan of lemon bars at one time, after baking)
  2. Place the crust ingredients into a food processor or the base of a stand mixer. Process the ingredients until well combined and crumbly dough is formed. Put the dough into the foil-lined baking pan and press down on crust until dough is compacted into a solid crust.
  3. Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
  4. While the crust is baking, make the lemon filling. Place the seeded lemon (yep... the WHOLE thing!) and sugar into a food processor. Process the lemon and sugar on high speed until the lemon is completely "pulverized". Check the mixture for any remaining seeds that might have secretly snuck into the food processor. Remove them, if you find any. They are sneaky!
  5. Add the lemon juice, eggs, cornstarch, and the melted butter to the lemon/sugar mixture. Pulse until mixture is smooth.
  6. Once crust is done baking and is removed from oven, LOWER THE OVEN TEMP. to 300 degrees. Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust; continue baking for 25-30 minutes, or until center is set, and is no longer "jiggly" (mine took 28 minutes).

  7. Remove pan to wire rack. Let cool to room temp, then place entire pan into refrigerator. Let bars refrigerate for 3-4 hours (the longer the better!) before you serve them. After the bars have chilled, lift the entire batch out of the pan at one time, by lifting them out via the aluminum foil that is hanging over the edges.

  8. Cut the bars into sixteen 2" squares, then sift powdered sugar over the tops. Serve and enjoy. Keep remaining bars stored in refrigerator.

Here’s a really easy recipe for Pecan Squares, or as a lot of people call them, Pecan Pie Bars. I love to bake these delicious treats during the Holidays.

If you like pecan pie, you will love these Pecan Squares. It’s just that simple! These bars are perfect for taking to a party (if you’re the “designated dessert-bringer”). These pecan squares are equally good  sitting out on the kitchen counter to snack on!

Another option for these sweet dessert bars is to be devoured by hordes of ravenously hungry houseguests, OR to give to friends on a platter of holiday goodies. My fun thing to do is give plates of Christmas goodies to our neighbors, with a few of these bars included!

This recipe makes 4 dozen of these sweet and chewy pecan squares; and as an added bonus, they freeze well, also. Just think, if you want, you can stick some in the freezer and grab them whenever you have the urge for pecan pie. How deliciously convenient… and dangerous… (trust me, these are GOOD…)

Sure hope you will consider making these pecan squares. They are sooo good,  and I hope you get better photos of them than I did. Ha Ha.

Ingredients
For crust:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter , softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For pecan filling:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups light or dark corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons butter , melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For chocolate drizzle (optional):
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips , melted (to drizzle on top of finished bars, if desired)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To make the crust:
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, butter and salt until the mixture turns into coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs firmly (and evenly) into a greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan. Bake crust at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven when done.

  2. While crust is baking, prepare the pecan filling: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract, until well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the pecan filling evenly over the top of the baked (hot) crust.

  3. Bake bars at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until they are "set" in the middle. Remove pan from oven and cool on a wire rack. Drizzle cooled bars with melted chocolate, if desired. Once bars are completely cooled, cut into 4 dozen bars, and serve!
