• Note: I began making the frosting when the bars only had about 10 minutes left to bake. You do not want to let the frosting sit too long before spreading on the bars or it will make it very difficult to spread. If this happens, reheat the frosting in the microwave for a short amount of time to make it thinner and spread better.

• 2. 2. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• 3. 3. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.
