BROWN SUGAR SQUARES
Decadent brown sugar and pecans on a shortbread crust -- like mini pecan pies in a melt-in-your-mouth bite! This recipe was my mother's and the squares are a hit wherever I take them. The dessert dish always goes home empty. I usually use pecans, but other nuts can work also.

RASPBERRY SQUARES WITH BROWN SUGAR CRUMB TOPPING
I just found a new cookbook (Stonewall Kitchen Favorites) that I love and want to share this recipe. I searched Zaar recipes and could not find where anyone else has posted this yet. Three layers: shortbread, raspberries and raspberry jam and a crunchy brown sugar top. These squares will work equally well with fresh or frozen berries. Yum, yum!
