• Add in the molasses to the margarine/sugar mix and mix in thoroughly.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients.
• Combine the wet and dry and mix well.Then add in your raisins.
• Divide the dough into two pieces, and from each half form three long rolls on a cookie sheet.
• Build them up as high as you can and they fit across a baking sheet, width-wise. When you build them up, you get a thicker, chewier bar.
• Bake them in the oven at 375 for 13-15 minutes, and do not over/under bake. This from my grandma's instructions. So they need to be baked until the edges are cooked and the middle slightly still underdone.
• Slice them across into about 8-10 squares when they are fully cooled, needless to say, this recipe makes a large amount, you can end up with 40-60 of the little bars!
