Here is a tasty and nutritious bar recipe. This would make a nice after school snack for your children but grownups enjoy it, too. A spicy bar with special browned butter frosting.

Carrot Bars

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup raisins

Cream sugar, oil and eggs until well blended. Stir in flour, cinnamon, soda and salt. Fold in grated carrots, nuts and raisins. Pour into a well greased and lightly floured 9x13" pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven until tests done with wooden pick (30-35 minutes). Frost while warm with Browned Butter Frosting (follows).

Browned Butter Frosting:
Melt 6 tbsp. butter until golden; blend in 1-1/2 cups confectioner's sugar. Beat in enough hot water (2-3 tbsp.) for easy spreading.
Amount 27 (3x1-1/2) inch bars.
