Recipe Instructions

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.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3500 Feet: Increase flour to 2 1/4 cups. Bake as

directed.
