Carrot Bars
"Carrot Bars"
I got this New Year's Day, 1978 -- odd how your lives change -- but, anyway, we used to get together EVERY New Year's with the Fred Zimmerman and Frank Powers families and this is one of the GREAT recipes (of the many) I got from Patti Z (I got some good ones from Nancy Powers too).
In a mixing bowl, beat: 4 Eggs
Mix in: 3 small baby strained carrots
1 tsp. salt
2 C. Flour
1 1/4 C. Crisco Oil
2 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Chopped Nuts
2 tsp. Soda
2 tsp. Cinnamon
Grease and flour 11 x 17" cookie pan with edges.
Bake 25-30 minutes 350 degrees. Cool.
"Icing"
3 C. Powdered Sugar
1 Stick Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla
6 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
Cream butter and cream cheese -- add sugar & vanilla. Mix well. Spread over cooled bars. Really good!!!
