Ingredient List
Bars
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup shredded zucchini, drained
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Spice Frosting
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 to 4 teaspoons milk
Preparation
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 9- or 8-inch square pan. In large bowl, mix brown sugar, butter, vanilla and egg. Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Stir in zucchini and nuts. Spread in pan.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- In medium bowl, mix all frosting ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Spread frosting over bars. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
Tips
- In a hurry? Pick up a container of Betty Crocker® cream cheese ready-to-spread frosting rather than preparing the spice frosting. It's delicious and so quick!
- Turn these fall favorites into Christmas bars! Sprinkle with red and green decorator sugar, and add 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries to the recipe.
