1-Getting ready: Getting ready to bake Rhubarb Bliss Bars is a fun and straightforward process that anyone can master, even if you’re a busy parent or student with limited time. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal later. This step ensures your bars come out clean and intact, ready for that optional dusting of powdered sugar.

2-Prepare the crust: Next, combine the crust ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup butter at room temperature in a food processor until they form a crumbly mixture. Press this evenly into your prepared pan and bake for about 15 minutes until it’s just pale and set. While that’s baking, whisk together the filling: 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt for about one minute, then gently stir in 2 cups of diced rhubarb.

3-Combine and bake: Pour the rhubarb filling over the hot crust and return it to the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the mixture is fully set. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares this helps them hold their shape and enhances the texture. With a total prep time of around 20 minutes and 45 minutes of baking, you’ll have fresh bars in no time, perfect for sharing at picnics or family meals.

4-Tips and serving: To avoid common pitfalls, remember not to overmix the crust to keep it tender, and use fresh rhubarb for the best results.
