Mincemeat Bars

Mincemeat Bars



3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
1 (27 ounce) jar mincemeat

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Combine the sugar, molasses, flour, oats, and salt in a large bowl. Using 2 knives or a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half of the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Spoon the mincemeat over the top. Crumble the remaining oat mixture evenly over the mincemeat. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Makes 16 bars
