Yummy Jif Bars
As good to eat as they are pretty to look at. Vary the yield by the size of bars you cut.

2/3 c butter or margarine, melted
1 t vanilla
2 c light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 c sifted flour
1/2 t salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine Jif and melted butter. Add vanilla, brown sugar, and eggs and mix well. Stir in flour and salt. beat until smooth.
Spread in greased 13x9x2 pan. Bake at 350 about 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Glaze:
3/4 c sifted confectioners sugar
2 t water
1/4 c semisweet chocolate pieces
1 T shortening
In small bowl, stir together confectioners sugar and water until smooth. Drizzle over warm Jif bars. In small pan heat chocolate pieces and shortening until melted. (Be careful not to scorch chocolate.) Drizzle over the warm Jif bars.
I liked them more than I thought I would. They chocolate drizzle wasn't too much and I think the sugar drizzle helped that. They were gooey and rich and Russell was caught multiple times with a knife cutting chunks out for himself. These are a quick treat to whip up that will be well received by many.
Are they like peanut butter bars? I can't get a good idea of what they are.
ReplyDeleteToo bad this recipe contains 4 of the 6 foods Preston is eliminating. No seafood though, so I guess it has that in its favor.
ReplyDeleteThey are kinda like an undercooked peanut butter blonde brownie that has the glaze and chocolate drizzle on top. They were muy excelente and the two of us plus a little help from Russell finished the whole pan in 36 hours.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice of you to send me some of these. They were a little dry and crumbly, but decent. Andrew tried to eat them all at once. We should make a pan and set it in front of Russell and Andrew for a "Lord of the Flies" type experience.
