Mincemeat Squares

"My grandma made these every year for Thanksgiving. We can't go without them! A little oaty, not too sweet, with a little tang from the spices. A good foil against the richness of so many other holiday desserts."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In my family, I am most famous (infamous) for several dishes: My first original recipe: Conceived around age 7, for a cheese sandwich. Toasted English muffin, spread with butter, slice of American cheese, a good layer of Parmesan, top with other half of buttered muffin. My most disasterous recipe: The Exploding Brownies. Otherwise great hershey's recipe for brownies involving an ingredient (baking powder) that I'd never used before. I somehow misread 1/4 teaspoon as a 1/4 cup. Brownie coated the ENTIRE oven. My most requested recipe: Stollen at Christmas. I am required to make one for my mother ever since my sister gave me Christian Teubner's wonderful Christmas Baking book full of traditional German Christmas treats.
