Time 55m

Yield 1 cake, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherry
1/2 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • For base, lightly butter an 8 inch square baking dish. In a bowl, using a fork, stir flour with sugar. Work in butter until coarse crumbs form. Press over bottom of buttered dish. Bake in centre of oven until light golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove, but leave oven on.
  • While base is baking, in a small bowl, using a fork, stir flour with salt and baking powder. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Using a wooden spoon, stir in sugar and vanilla until evenly mixed. Then stir in walnuts, cherries, coconut and flour mixture. Spread over warm base. Bake in centre of oven until topping is golden and slightly jiggly, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove to a rack to cool at least 1 hour before cutting into bars. Bars cut best after refrigerating overnight. Refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They are very easy to make and they look very impressive.

Yum-Yum Bars! What a great name for these delicious treats. I made them for my family and they devoured them in minutes. I love how simple the recipe is and how few ingredients it takes. I will be making these again and again.

These Yum-Yum Bars were a huge hit at my daughter's birthday party! They were so easy to make and everyone loved them. I will definitely be making these again for future parties.
