Rhubarb Custard Bars image

Once I tried these rich, gooey bars, I just had to have the recipe so I could make them for my family and friends. The shortbreadlike crust and the rhubarb and custard layers inspire people to find rhubarb that they can use to fix a batch for themselves. -Shari Roach, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
