Ingredients of
Rhubarb Dream Bars

 CRUST

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature

 FILLING

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups diced rhubarb

How to Make
Rhubarb Dream Bars

  1.  Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2.  Line the bottom of an 8" x 8" pan with parchment, bringing it up the sides so that it will be easy to remove the squares after.
  3. Whirl the crust ingredients in a food processor (until the dough is a medium crumbly texture) and then press into the prepared pan.  
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. The crust will remain very pale in colour.
  5. While the crust is baking, mix together eggs, sugar, flour and salt and whisk well.
  6. Stir in the rhubarb (fresh is best). 
  7. Pour onto the hot crust and continue to bake for 40 - 45 minutes.
  8. Let the bars cool completely, remove with parchment and cut into small squares
