Five Minute Butter Bars Recipes

FIVE-LAYER BARS

Steps:

• • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 9 x 13-inch pan and line with parchment paper, allowing enough overhang on the long side to lift the bars from the pan.
• • Place the butter and graham crackers in a bowl and combine well. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and pat into an even layer to form the crust.
• • Sprinkle the coconut evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the coconut. Pour the condensed milk evenly over the chocolate chips. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the condensed milk layer. Press the layers down lightly. Transfer to the oven and bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
• • Set aside to cool completely and cut into 24 pieces.

BUTTER FINGER BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, stir together the brown sugar, white sugar, melted margarine and oats until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips. Press the mixture into a 9x9 inch pan.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Spread peanut butter over the top of the bars and let cool until set. Cut into squares and serve.

BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
• Mix together cake mix, 1 egg and butter. Mixture should be stiff like a dough.
• Press into greased pan.
• Mix together cream cheese, 2 eggs and powdered sugar and poured over the dough.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes.

CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER-MARSHMALLOW BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch square pan with butter and sprinkle 1/2 cup/17 grams of the cornflakes on the bottom of the pan.
• In a large pot, melt the 6 tablespoons/85 grams butter over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and kosher salt, and cook, stirring often, until about half of the marshmallows have melted but the mixture is not completely smooth. Add the peanut butter and mix until just combined, keeping some lumps of marshmallow.
• Take the pan off the heat, and working quickly, add about half the remaining 5½ cups cornflakes, folding them into the marshmallow mixture as gently as possible to avoid crushing the cereal. Repeat with the remaining cornflakes. If the mixture becomes too sticky to work with, briefly return the pot to the heat on low.
• Working quickly, transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, using a wet spoon or spatula to spread and pat into an even layer, again being careful to avoid crushing or packing the cereal.
• Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars in overlapping lines. (If using chocolate chips, scatter the chips onto the surface of the bars while they are still warm and let sit for 5 minutes, allowing the heat of the cornflakes to melt the chocolate before dragging a fork or toothpick through it to create lines.) Sprinkle the bars lightly with flaky sea salt, and set aside at room temperature (in a cool spot, if possible) until completely set, about 2 hours.
• Cut into bars and serve. Bars will keep, wrapped well at room temperature, for up to 3 days.

FIVE MINUTE BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Line a med. cookie sheet with foil, then spray the foil with cooking spray.
• Lay the crackers flat on the foil, covering it as completely as you can. You may substitute with Keebler crackers, or even soda crackers. It doesn't matter if they fit tightly together.
• Sprinkle the slivered almonds over top.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the brown sugar.
• Bring to a boil, the cook over med. heat for 5 min's.
• Remove from heat, add 1 teaspoons vanilla, then pour the mixture over the crackers in the pan.
• Bake at 350 for 5 min's.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with choc. chips. This is optional, as the bars are delicious without the chocolate.
• Cool, and slice.
