Best Fruit And Nutty Bars Recipes

FRUIT AND NUTTY BARS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 9x13 inch pan by putting the pan in a 350 degree oven.
• Keep an eye on the butter, and when it's melted, take the pan out of the oven(but keep the oven at 350 degrees) and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over top.
• Mix this well and then press it evenly on the bottom of the pan to form your crust.
• Next, in a microwave safe bowl, mix together the marshmellow creme and the Nutella.
• Microwave this mixture for 30-60 seconds, just until it's smooth, easy to stir and a little warm.
• Drop spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture around the crust in little blobs.
• Now take your kiwi slices and evenly scatter them on top.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over everything evenly.
• Scatter the cranberries, cashews, milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips next.
• Lightly press down the layers in the pan.
• Bake in your 350 degree pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes; it should be browned slightly around the edges.
• Let cool completely, then slice into bars and put in the fridge for at least an hour to help them set up a bit.
• Store covered in the fridge, and enjoy!

FRUIT AND NUT BARS

Steps:

• prepare cookie sheet or jelly-roll pan by lining with foil and spraying with cooking spray; they'll never come out of the pan otherwise!
• preheat oven to 400°F.
• steam dried fruit for about 15 minutes (I like to use Sun Maid Fruit Bits to get a variety and avoid the chopping).
• beat eggs.
• heat eggs and sugar in saucepan until sugar is melted.
• remove from heat and add salt and vanilla.
• add flour 1/2 cup at a time and stir until combined.
• stir in nuts (any kind, I like pecans).
• pour into prepared pan, taking care to fill the corners, the mixture is very sticky.
• bake 15-16 minutes.
• let cool completely.
• turn tray upside down onto cutting board, gently peel foil, then cut into bars.
