Step by Step
For the Bars
- Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
- Drain Cherries, saving juice for the glaze. Chop cherries and place them on a paper towel.
- Combine ingredients for the crust and mix until smooth. Press into a parchment-lined 9 x 9 pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat eggs with a fork in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients and stir until coated. Pour over cooked crust and return to oven to cook for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool Completely.
For the Glaze
- Mix ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. I used red cherry juice to make my glaze.
- Drizzle over bars and cut square. Add 1/2 a red cherry to the center of each square.
