HERMIT BARS FROM THE FAT WITCH
This recipe comes from The Fat Witch Bakery in New York. I just made a batch for Mr. Paul, and he said they were outstanding, in between mouthfuls. Hope he leaves me one or two.

Steps:
- Grease a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with butter. Dust with flour and tap out the excess. Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream the butter and sugar til fluffy and smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating as you add the molasses.
- Measure the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, and salt and sift together into the batter. Mix the batter gently until well mixed and no trace of dry ingredients remains. Stir in the raisins and nuts, if desired, by hand. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake for 22 minutes or til a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with only crumbs, not batter, sticking to it. The edges should be starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. Note: I used and 8 x 8 inch pan and had to add about 5 minutes more cooking time, but that's just me. If I would have used a 9 x 9 inch pan, maybe the 22 minutes would have been fine.
- Remove from oven and cool on rack for 1 hour. Cut just before serving. Makes 12 to 16 bars.
