Easy Rhubarb Bars Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup butter
• 2 eggs eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 5 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup butter

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan for baking.
2. For the crust: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and baking powder. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter using your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the egg and milk until just moistened. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Evenly spread the rhubarb over the crust, then sprinkle the dry gelatin powder on top of the rhubarb.
4. To prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups of white sugar and 1 cup of flour. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter as you did for the crust. Sprinkle the topping uniformly over the rhubarb layer.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the topping turns golden brown and the rhubarb is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, approximately 45 minutes. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars and serving.
