I had a 1\/2 can of strawberry pie filling to use up so I only made 1\/4 of the bar recipe (but used 1\/2 the glaze recipe to pipe on top and made it a really thick consistency, topping once they were completely cool). I made this in an 8x8 baking dish and it came out perfect, although I did allow it to bake for 50 minutes. Next time I'll try 1\/2 the recipe in a 13x9. I think the key is to have a thin layer of bar on the bottom and increase the time a bit to assure it's done. I didn't use the almond extract, that seemed odd to me, but will try the almond slivers like others.

I made these for a family gathering for the first time. I have to say that after using 3 cups of batter for the base I had a lot of batter left over. So, when I put teaspoon size dollop on to cover the area when I baked it they all ran together besides having at least a cup or more of batter left over. I am hoping that these will be okay once they cool and I can cut them into squares. Know next time not to be so accurate in the about of the 3 cups of dough on the baking sheet (15x10x1). <\/p>

If you bake them a bit longer than recommended the crust holds up better in bar form. I often bake them 45-50 mins at home. Never had a burnt crust. The convection ovens at the bakery were definitely faster. If they come out with softer crust just cut into smaller \u201c2-bite\u201d size pieces or eat with fork. The batter is very thick. Fist time I made I I though I did something wrong. You can easily alter the amount of sugar to your liking. Change up the filings, extracts and nuts or other add-in\u2019s as you choose. It\u2019s pretty forgiving. It\u2019s kinda bad hard to mess up this recipe. Under-baking is usually the biggest issue, as is not using enough filling. At a bakery you can\u2019t skimp on fillings. Customers don\u2019t like that :-). If you do add the drizzle on top it will make the bars a bit wet it the sit out all day. Bakery tip: For dryer drizzle use less milk. It should be very thick - as in \u201cnot a drizzle at all\u201d but kinda toothpaste like. Then heat in microwave, no more than 10 seconds at a time. Gets super hot very fast. Once hot, drizzle quickly, as it will harden\/get crusty very quickly. Once it drys on the bars it won\u2019t make them overly soft. Works great and you can remix remaining crusted drizzle (with few drops of liquid) and reheat if it gets too difficult to work with. I burned myself a few times with the hot mix so be careful not to overheat it","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"title":"Cherry Bars","description":"Surprise someone special with this dreamy dessert","url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VD16458_010217_H.mp4","duration":"66","mime_type":"video\/mp4","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/videodam.tmbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/VD16458_010217_Thumb.jpg","advertising":true,"jw_id":"sxTADsjB","jw_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/videos\/sxTADsjB-Uot7Fvi8.mp4","jw_thmub_url":"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/v2\/media\/sxTADsjB\/poster.jpg?width=720","jw_publish_date":"06\/12\/2018"},"rms_legacy_id":"16458","romance_copy_dek":"Easy to make, easy to transport and easy to love, these indulgent cherry pie bars are the perfect treat, no matter your baking skill level.","enhanced_recipe_title":"Cherry Pie Bars","rms_legacy_data":{"RecipeCategories":null,"Ingredients":[{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup butter, softened","IngredientText":"1 cup butter, softened"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 cups sugar","IngredientText":"2 cups sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon salt","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon salt"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"4 large eggs, room temperature","IngredientText":"4 large eggs, room temperature"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1 teaspoon vanilla extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/4 teaspoon almond extract","IngredientText":"1\/4 teaspoon almond extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"3 cups all-purpose flour","IngredientText":"3 cups all-purpose flour"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 cans (21 ounces each) cherry pie filling","IngredientText":"2 cans (21 ounces each) cherry pie filling"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"GLAZE:<\/b>","IngredientText":"GLAZE:<\/b>"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1 cup confectioners' sugar","IngredientText":"1 cup confectioners' sugar"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract","IngredientText":"1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"1\/2 teaspoon almond extract","IngredientText":"1\/2 teaspoon almond extract"},{"CampaignId":"","IsBrandedIngredient":false,"Ingredient":"2 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk","IngredientText":"2 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk"}],"FeaturedImage":"https:\/\/tmbidigitalassetsazure.blob.core.windows.net\/rms3-prod\/attachments\/37\/1200x1200\/Cherry-Bars_EXPS_FT24_16458_ST_0329_1.jpg","RecipeId":16458,"AttachmentSourceId":null,"AttachmentSource":"Taste Recipes","PhotoCredit":"Cherry Bars Recipe photo by Taste Recipes","VideoCode":"[dam-video dam-id=\"28864\"]","RecipeAttachmentFileName":"Cherry-Bars_EXPS_FT24_16458_ST_0329_1.jpg","ContributorId":null,"Firstname":"Jane","Lastname":"Kamp","City":"Grand Rapids","StateDescription":"Michigan","IsCommunityCook":false,"ContributorAttachmentFileName":"https:\/\/cdn3.tmbi.com\/toh\/Recipe\/testkitchenapproved.png","TimeCallout":"Prep: 20 min.
