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!!!

RIP Patti Z :)
