Thanks for this Cinnamon Fruit Oat Bars

[Guest guest]

I just made these, off to my Mom's with them before I eat them up. I

used cherry preserves and craisins as my combo. I can't wait to make

them for my job. Thanks again,

strawberry)

one cup and set aside. Pat the mixture into a greased 9 X 9 square

pan.

now toss with the remaining one cup oat mixture you set aside, and

smooth over the top of layer in pan.

> Bake at 350 degrees for 23-30 minutes until edges are golden brown,

take out of oven and give it a look. You don't want it too dark or

it will become hard. It's still very tasty if it's hard.

> Let pan cook down a little, while it's still warm cut into squares.

> Make drizzle icing with powdered sugar and water, when it's thick

but slowly drips from spoon, drizzle across top of squares. When

icing sets, remove squares from pan.
