Top this shortbread base with your favorite dried or glace fruits, nuts,
flavored chips or coconut, making each half different. Glaze one half of
the bars and leave the other plain, or cut one side into squares and the
other into bars - your guests will think you made two pans of bars rather
than just one!
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl; beat sugar and margarine until
light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Lightly spoon flour
into
measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour; mix well. Spread dough into
ungreased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Sprinkle half of dough with fruit cake
mix and other half with chocolate chips and pecans; press lightly into
dough.
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are lightly
browned. Cool completely.
In small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough milk for desired
drizzling
consistency; blend until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bars. Let stand until
set; cut into bars. Makes 48 bars.
