"The recipe is from the Kalona, IA Historical Village Cookbook published in 1971, so it is almost an antique recipe. The contributor, Marilyn Svoboda, calls it Rhubarb Delight. An Amish farm that has a market stall sells these and calls them Rhubarb Dream Bars. My mom calls them Rhubarb Bars. So take your pick of names!"
