Ingredients
  

For the Rhubarb Bars
  • 2 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 large eggs

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan to ensure nothing sticks.

  5. Step 5: Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Step 8: Allow to cool in the pan before cutting into bars. Serve and enjoy!
