ORANGE DESSERT BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• To make the crust, beat butter with electric mixer until creamy. Add confectioners' sugar; beat well. Then,add combined flour and oats; beat on low speed until crumbly.
• Press crumbs firmly and evenly onto bottom of Greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake 20 minutes, until light golden brown. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 300ºF.
• While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Beat eggs, granulated sugar and orange zest until well blended. Add juice; beat to combine. Add flour and mix just enough to combine. Pour filling over warm, baked crust.
• Bake the crust with filling until filling is set, about 40 minutes.
• Cool in pan 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.
• To serve, cut into bars. You may choose to garnish with more orange zest or confectioner's sugar.

7 LAYER BARS (THE REAL THING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt butter; pour into the bottom of a 9 by 12 baking pan.
• Pour graham cracker crumbs over butter; pat down.
• Add the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, pecans, and coconut in the order listed, sprinkling in an even layer.
• For the final layer, pour the can of sweetened condensed milk over the entire top.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes until top is nice and and golden.
• Cool completely and cut into bars.
• ** Tip:" I go to my local Dollar Tree store and buy the Aluminum sheet pans they have there. They are not quite 9X12 but something like 11 ½ x 2inches deep. They work wonderfully.

3-LAYER BARS

Steps:

• First Layer - Mix all ingredients together to form a crumbly mixture.
• Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan, pressing firmly.
• Place pan in the freezer to set while preparing the next layer.
• Second Layer - Mix the first three ingredients together, using enough milk to make a stiff, frosting-like consistency.
• If desired, add a drop of yellow food coloring.
• Do not add too much milk, you want the mixture to be pretty stiff, but still spreadable.
• Remove the pan from the freezer and scrape the second layer onto the first, spreading as evenly as possible, and then using your hands to press down to smooth.
• Return pan to freezer.
• Third Layer - Melt the chocolate chips together with the butter. You can use a double boiler, but I have had good luck using a small saucepan and very low heat, with stirring.
• Remove the pan from the freezer.
• Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the second layer.
• Working quickly (before the chocolate sets), spread the chocolate layer evenly.
• Return the pan to the freezer for no more than a few minutes. You want the chocolate to begin to set before you cut the bars - but if you wait too long, the chocolate will be too hard and you won't be able to cut through it without it breaking. The point at which the chocolate loses its shine and takes on a dull appearance is the right time to remove the pan from the freezer and cut into small squares.
• After cutting, return to the freezer to harden completely, then remove from the pan.
• Store in the refrigerator.

• Sprinkle with sugar.
