Orange Crunch Bars Food

ORANGE BARS

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with butter.
• Stir together the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter to cut it all together until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press into the prepared pan and bake until golden around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• For the filling: Stir together the granulated sugar and flour in a bowl. Crack in the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the orange zest and juice and mix until combined. Pour over the crust and bake until the filling is set, about 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours, then sift powdered sugar over the top before cutting into 16 pieces.

CAPPUCCINO CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 13x9-inch pan (I recommend cooking spray- if you use shortening, the bars may seem greasy once cooled).
• Stir together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl; set aside.
• With an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars until fluffy.
• Beat eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Mix in dissolved and cooled coffee, extracts and orange zest.
• Gradually mix in flour mixture.
• Once flour is blended in, stir in chips and toffee bits.
• Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool in pan on wire rack before cutting into bars.

ORANGE SLICE BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir together melted butter and brown sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Add flour, chopped candies and pecans; stir until well blended. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 25 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Cut into 9 rows by 4 rows. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack. Remove bars from pan; cut each in half diagonally. Sprinkle bars with powdered sugar.
