Oaty Rhubarb Streusel Bars
Recipe: #24088
June 15, 2016
"Many fruits & berries are hugely popular across the Scandinavian countries, but none show more prolific growth or uses than the rhubarb which finds its way into homemade jam, baked goods & a wide variety of other desserts. Found @ BHGdotcom, this will likely be my last rhubarb recipe for the season as my rhubarb bounty is due to start arriving this evening. My rhubarb benefactor even took her kindness a step further this yr by cleaning & slicing it for me, so it will be ready to use or be frozen while I use it in batches. A recipe for GINGER ICING was also a part of this recipe, but Siggi & I usually view icing as overkill & would rather have a dessert like this served as mentioned below in the SERVING SUGGESTIONS. Time does not include the 2 hr cool time. ENJOY!"

NOTE RE PIC: Made this recipe today (6/18/16) & it was a super-easy fix. The fresh strawberry halves were just added to provide a color element. It was made to have at a later date, will be frozen until then & I will add the "bars cut shot" at that time.
