Absolutely delicious. The name so caught my attention, the recipe so gets the stars! Made as posted using pecans. Loved the tangy citrus frosting which gave this rich bar a very special taste. Thank you for suggesting this recipe Stella Mae, it is a real winner and one that is now in my Holiday Cookbook. -
I didn't have a 7x11" pan so I decided to double your ingredients and used a 9x13" cake pan. It worked perfectly!! The baking times were the same. I used pecans and the filling did puff up quite a bit, but as you said, it settled down as it cooled. For the frosting mix I used 2 1/2 tablespoons Satsuma tangerine juice and left out the lemon juice. I also finely grated about a tablespoon of tangerine peel and mixed it in with the frosting. I cut them 6x4 and was able to get 24 nice sized bars but after I removed them from the pan I cut each bar in half to make "fingers" so I ended up with 48 fingers. Stella Mae, these are absolutely wonderful! The filling is out of this world delicious and the tangy orange frosting just complimented it so well. This is a keeper in my book! Next time I promise to try it with the lemon juice too but I have all these Satsuma tangerines I'm trying to use up! LOL! Thanks Stella Mae, I loved this recipe!

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
