I just love a great cookie bar and all of my readers have been asking for more!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Have you noticed, I’ve been posting one each Thursday? Well, I have!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Here’s one that could be my all time favorite…a decadent, fruity, brown sugary bar that everyone I serve them to loves. I make these often for groups and I had to hide two in the kitchen just so I could take a few pix for you…yep, gone in a flash!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>Streusel Fruit Bars are just so yummy. I made a pan of blueberry and one of rhubarb. You can make virtually any fruit flavor you’d like. No matter the flavor, serve with love.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Streusel Fruit Bars<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
  • 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. dried fruit<\/li>\n
  • 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. juice<\/li>\n
  • 1-1\/2 cups flour<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 tsp. salt<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, packed<\/li>\n
  • 3\/4 cup coconut<\/li>\n
  • 3\/4 cup chopped nuts.<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. oats<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) plus 1 Tbsp. butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Combine fruit and juice in saucepan and cook over medium heat until juice is reduced and fruit is soft, about 15 minutes. Mix together flour, salt, brown sugar, coconut, nuts and oats. Cut butter into flour mixture to form coarse meal. Do not over-mix. Press 1\/2 mixture into bottom of 13×9″ baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Spread fruit mixture on top of crust in pan. Sprinkle remaining flour mixture over fruit mixture. Bake at 350 degrees until top crust is golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars to serve. Makes 15 bars.<\/p>\n

    Ah-ha<\/span>: A few favorite combinations are;
    1. {dried apricots, orange juice, walnuts}
    2. {dried pineapple, orange juice, macadamia nuts}
    3. {dried blueberries, apple juice, pecans}
    4. {rhubarb, orange juice, walnuts}
    5. {strawberries, orange juice, pecans}
    6. {craisins, apples, apple juice, walnuts}
    7. {dates, orange juice, walnuts}<\/span><\/p>\n

    I’d love to hear your favorites. Please let me know what you try. Thanks so much and happy baking!
