WHITE CHRISTMAS CHERRY BARS
Preheat oven to350 ºF. Empty contents of jar into medium bowl. Stir in:
1/2 C. (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Press into an 8−inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 20 to
22 minutes, or until bars are light golden brown and center is almost set. Makes 16
bars.
* To toast pecans, place in a microwave−safe dish and microwave on high for 4 to
5 minutes, stirring every minute.
** After measuring the brown sugar, crumble it between your fingers for uniform
texture. Be sure to pack the brown sugar firmly in the jar to prevent the baking mix
from sifting down through it.
