What are Rhubarb Dream Bars made of?

Rhubarb Dream Bars include a shortbread crust made from flour, sugar, and butter, topped with a creamy filling of eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and diced rhubarb.

Can I use frozen rhubarb?

Yes, you can use frozen rhubarb. Thaw and drain it well before adding it to the filling to avoid extra moisture.

Why is my filling runny?

The filling may turn runny if you underbake the bars or use too much rhubarb. Proper baking time helps the mixture set correctly.

How do I know when bars are done?

The top should look set and slightly firm, and the center should not jiggle when you gently shake the pan.

Can I make these bars ahead of time?

Yes, Rhubarb Dream Bars work well when made ahead. Store them in the refrigerator and slice before serving for best results.
