Delicious and Easy Bar Recipe for Large Pan | No Rice Crispies Needed

[AnnieBee]

Ok Folks,

I need a great bar recipe for my large par pan. I'm tired of the same old brownies and chocolate chip oatmeal bars that I usually do. So, what is your favourite bar recipe!? Doesn't have to be PC...

Oh, and I don't have any rice crispies in the house right now!

TIA, y'all ROCK!!

Have you tried any of the pizzas? I make the stuffed crust pizza (use mozzarella sticks), and it has never failed to get rave reviews!! You can have mutiple toppings to get more hands on!
Hope that helps!

I do love the Clubhouse chicken squares, the Caramel Nutty brownies, chicken enchiladas that I make for my family, Ice cream squares and lots of other things too. I love my bar pan! :thumbup:

Actually, I'm looking for real "bars", as in cookies that you bake and cut into rectangles - not for a show, but for a snack for my play group tomorrow .

But thanks anyway! And I'm just not up for the WNCB tonight...

My favorite "bar" is chocolate chip sensation. It's like a chocolate chip cookie bar on steroids.

Kitchen DIva has an awesome lemon bar recipe that is too die for, but it is not in our bar pan. I love the warm nutty ( minus the nuts for me) caramel brownies myself. I have also rolled out cookie dough onto the bar pan, bnaked it nad made the bar cookies. I have playgroup tomorrow too and I am making the lemon bars.

Have you ever made pumpkin bread or zucchini bread? Or Amish Friendship bread? Sweet/quick breads (not to be confused with sweet breads, which really scar me to think about) like those work really well for me! Just spread across the pan, cook em' up, cut into chunks and don't plan on having any later. Yum! They all also work with DMMP, but the bar pan is easier.Also, if you have What to Expect, The First Year, there is a recipe for cake made with apple juice and raisins and carrots that we actually really like as almost fruitcake-y bars. Omit the "icing", unless you are a sadist. Yuck on that.

You can do the amish bread in the large bar pan? How does that work?? I have batch that I am supposd to bake on Saturday.

LOL- I was gonna post it, but since Mere is willing to do that for me...

Also, 7 layer bars are good. They have a graham cracker crust, coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans and sweetened condensed milk. Very tatsey!

Every other bar recipe I have calls for a 9x13 (because of the taller sides)

The lemon bar recipe really is the best-and my lemon filling gets a little firmer than normal lemon bars so you can actually eat them without a fork, and they taste SUPER yummy out of the fridge!

 

[merego]

I will post it on the recipe file section also, I have had a few PM's for it that I have replied to already

I have made KAcey's 7 layer bars as well and they are yummy too.

Tonight I made the Smores recipe from the care guide I got with mine years ago. If anyone would like the recipe let me know and Ill type it here! It looks awesome and we'll see how it taste tomorrow! Made it for my hubby to take to a luncheon along with some catalogs

 

[AnnieBee]

Thanks for all the ideas ladies!

I also love lemon bars, but alas have only one lemon right now...

Before I got all of your replies, I found a recipe for "pecan pie bars" on allrecipes.com which I actually have the ingredients for (except for not enough pecans, so I am doing half mixed nuts!). The base is pretty much the same as for lemon bars, I have all ready to bake in the morning (time for bed!).

Meredith, I don't have any of those books, unfortunately!

See y'all tomorrow!

Night night :indif:

Granted my lemon bars taste way better with fresh lemon, and lemon zest in the crust and filling, you can use lemon juice from a bottle. That's how the recipe was originally written, but I changed it up- I use real lemons and zest in the crust and filling- WAY yummier than the original recipe. Which came from my dear mother- who cannot cook to save her life...

I will never turn down a free treat recipe! Post away!

I cook Amish bread in just about anything I spritz or grease with shortening just for the cinnamon sugar to stick to the pan, pour a wee bit of batter in - really just a little more than it takes to cover the bottom... you kind of have to play with it - sprinkle on more cinnamon sugar and bake at prescribed temperature until toothpick is clean.

You know, I used to get mad at my mom for recipes less oblique than this. I'm sorry! I know mine takes longer than cupcakes, mini-muffins, and individual cake pans, but shorter than loaves. Maybe 20 minutes?

What I like about them in the bar pan is that you get more edges! And edges are extra awesome when they're on our stoneware, and coated in cinnamon sugar.... yum!

I posted it on the recipe thread b/c I was too lazy, well actually tired to type it all out in the recipe files section.

What is Amish bread and may I have the recipe?

I am not sure what the "starter recipe" is. Janetupnorth" would probably know. There was an entire thread on it not to long ago. My neighbor gave it to me and we have continued to switch back and forth so we always have bread every 10 days. Clint and Kyle LOVE, LOVE, LOVE:love::love::love::love: this bread. Let me look up the thread and see if the recipe is posted.

Amish bread (aka Amish Friendship Bread, Friendship Bread, Edible Chain Letter, The Bread that Never Dies...) is a wonderfully delicious science project of a sweet sourdough.

There is a thread around here somewhere... aha! Here it is.

Okay, I have memory issues, and I'll forget to let it air out at least 5 times during that 10 day period. And how do you let it rest? Do you just open the bag and let air get to it? Man- being Amish is a LOT of work! LOL
