a slice of bars

Benjamins Winter Bars

so with some extra sour cream (yes) left over, I sought to modified this recipe into a more delectable afternoon snack or morning treat.

A few changes:

• made in a spring form pan and cut into little slices

• 2 c. craisins
• 1/2 c. white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch (mix this w/ a bit of h20 before adding to mixture)
• 1 1/2 c. sour cream
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• slowly mix all this stuff over LOW heat (you don't want scrambled eggs, do you?)

This is the crumble that gets split into bottom (pressed down) and sprinkled on top:

• 1 c. packed brown sugar
• 1 3/4 c. rolled oats (opt: replace ~1/2 c. w/ wheat germ)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 3/4 c. mix of AP flour and wheat flour
• 1 cup butter, softened

This is probably one of my top 3 favorite "bar" recipes.  *win*
