Out of this world bars!

These bars are amazing.  At the bottom is the recipe.   Here are some pictures as I made them.  :)

The recipe.




Out Of This World Bars!

Crust
3/4 cup butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
dash salt

Mix and pat into a 9 x 13 inch pan.  Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.

Filling
2 eggs beaten
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup dates,  cut fine.  (optional)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 teaspoon Vanilla

I usually do not add the pecans or dates and it tastes really good without.  I am sure it is also really good with the dates and pecans too.  
Mix and spread  on hot crust and bake for 25 minutes at 350 F.   Let cool.  

Frosting
4 tablespoons butter
3 oz cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 almond flavoring (optional) 

Spread over the cooled bars.  

These bars are also really good if served a day later.

Trail Ride

My grandpa and I went up riding near Red Feather last Saturday.   It was gorgeous because all of the aspens were turning.

A Blank sign by the trail.   All of the bushes around it were turning into the Fall colors.

Golden / Green Aspens. 

"Can I have a treat?  PLEASE!?!"

A row of golden Aspens.
