Cherry Nut Bars

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling*
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all the ingredients except for the pie filling and the marshmallows in a large bowl. Mix at low speed, scraping the bowl often, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the mixture for topping.

Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on the edges.

Gently spoon the pie filling over the hot, partially baked crust; sprinkle with marshmallows. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture.

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool completely, then cut into bars.


*You may substitute any pie filling.
