Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups pecan halves
½ cup butter ((softened))
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup self-rising flour
Dash of salt
½ pound candied pineapple ((chopped))
½ pound candied cherries ((chopped))
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon rum extract ((or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract))
3 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped pecans ((for topping))

Steps:

  • Spread pecans evenly over the bottom of a greased 10x15x1" baking pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Crema together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat well.
  • Add the flour and salt. Blend well.
  • Spoon the batter over the pecans. Dampen your hands and gently press to spread the dough evenly over the pecans.
  • Sprinkle the chopped fruit over the batter. Press down on the fruit slightly so it pushes gently into the dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes.
  • Once the bars are cooled, prepare a powdered sugar glaze.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. If needed, add additional heavy cream until the glaze is at drizzling consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
  • Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
  • Cut the bars and store in an airtight container.

BUTTER RUM BARS



Butter Rum Bars image

I have always loved Butter Rum flavor. Whenever I had a nickel or two, as a child, I would buy a tube of Butter Rum LIfe Savers! I tried to hide them to make them last, or my 3 sibs, would find out and then they disappeared in a hurry. Even if I was successful in hiding behind the hedge, I felt they were always gone too soon! ...
