Delicious and pretty for Valentine's Day, these bars are a favorite. Have tea with someone you love this week or make yourself a cup and enjoy!
Cherry Nut Bars
Pastry:
1 C. flour
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
1/2 C. butter
Filling:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. coconut
1/2 c. nuts (No nuts allowed in baked goods here- my guys don't like them.)
1/2 c. quartered maraschino cherries
Mix flour, sugar and butter and press into greased 8 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Mix together remaining ingredients and spread over the top of baked pastry. (No need to cool pastry.) Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool.
*Here is where I change the recipe.
You knew I would.
I make a frosting from powdered sugar and the maraschino cherry juice. This recipe doesn't call for the frosting but that is the way my Mom made them, so I do too.

Remember Beckys hand model tip? Looks yummy!

My favorite! I mixed up the crust last night but got sidetracked ;)
The problem is I'm the only one who would eat them!! But if I ski tomorrow then I probably should replace those calories............hmmmmm!?! They look beautiful & delicious, like every thing you do always does!
