FRUIT PUNCH BARS



Fruit Punch Bars image

When my Mom passed away I acquired her Recipe box. It was filled with wonderful family recipes of hers and relatives who have been gone for many, many years. It has been a wonderful trip down memory lane filled with delicious food memories. This was one of those cards "spotched and blotched" from many uses. It's easy and oh...

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
16 oz crushed pineapple (or 16 oz. fruit cocktail) undrained
2 1/4 c flour
1 1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 c coconut
1/2 c walnuts (chopped)
glaze
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c butter
1/4 c evaporated milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs and sugar until light. Add fruit, flour, soda, salt and vanilla. Spread in 15"x10"x2" greased pan. Sprinkle top with coconut and chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
  • 2. While the cake is baking make the Glaze.
  • 3. Combine all glaze ingredients. Cook at medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes.
  • 4. Drizzle on cake as soon as you bring the cake out of the oven.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruit for the best flavor. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the fruit by hand. Just be sure to chop it finely so that it distributes evenly throughout the cookie bars.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookie bars tough.
  • Bake the cookie bars until they are just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookie bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a fun and festive touch, you can decorate the cookie bars with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

These glazed fruit punch cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone.
