Dessert 🍰Snack 🍿 American

Rhubarb Bars layer a buttery shortbread base with tart rhubarb, a strawberry-kissed sprinkle of gelatin, and a golden, crumbly topping. Each bite balances bright tang with gentle sweetness and a rich, buttery crunch. Ideal for spring gatherings, potlucks, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.

Rhubarb Bars
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch jellyroll pan.

  2. 2

    To make the crust: In a large bowl, stir 2 cups of flour and baking powder; cut in 1/2 cup of butter by pinching with your fingers or using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the egg and milk just until moistened. Pat the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

  3. 3

    Spread the rhubarb evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the dry gelatin powder over the rhubarb.

  4. 4

    To make the topping: Stir 2 cups white sugar and 1 cup flour together in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter as you did for the crust. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the rhubarb.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender enough to pierce easily with a fork, about 45 minutes. Cool, then cut into bars to serve.
