Tips:

Use a good quality mincemeat: This is the key ingredient in these bars, so make sure you use one that you enjoy the taste of. You can either make your own mincemeat or buy it from the store.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough, so be careful not to overmix it. Just mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Chill the dough before baking: This will help the dough to set and make it easier to handle. You can chill the dough for up to 30 minutes.
Bake the bars until they are golden brown: The bars should be baked until they are golden brown on top and the crust is set. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
Let the bars cool before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart. You can let the bars cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting them.

Conclusion:

These mincemeat crumb bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are made with a simple shortbread crust and a sweet and tangy mincemeat filling. The bars are then topped with a streusel topping that adds a crunchy texture. These bars are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
