These Gingerbread Marshmallow Crispy Treats are amazingly scrumptious!


Gingerbread Marshmallow Crispy Treats

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

3.) Add the spices and stir.

5.) Remove pan from the heat, then add the crisp rice cereal; stir until cereal is coated well with the marshmallow mixture.

6.) Pour the marshmallow/cereal mixture into the baking pan.

7.) Using your hands, which have been coated with a bit of butter or margarine; gently press the mixture into the pan.

8.) Immediately sprinkle bars with some holiday candy sprinkles; gently patting sprinkles onto the bars.

9.) Let the bars set for a few hours before slicing them.

Citrus Bars

I happen to come across this recipe at a food.com. The recipe was posted by justmeterri, but I did modify the recipe just a bit. These citrus bars are very good. They had a nice lemony flavor to them.




Citrus Bars

Crust:

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter

Topping:
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3 Tablespoons orange juice
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
confectioners' sugar (for sprinkling on top the bars)

To make the crust:
In a bowl combine together, the flour and confectioners' sugar.  Cut in butter; mix until mixture becomes crumbly and clings together. Press crust mixture into a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.  Place baking pan in a preheated 350°F degree oven.  Bake the crust for about 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.

To make the topping:
In another bowl beat together, the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, and lemon zest.  Stir in the 1/4 cup flour and baking powder, mixing well.  Pour topping mixture over the baked crust.  Place pan in the oven, and bake for an additional 25 minutes.

When cool; sprinkle the bars with the confectioners' sugar, then cut them into bars.  (I cut the bars while they were slightly warm, then sprinkled the bars with the confectioners' sugar.)

Yields: 24 bars
