Rhubarb is my favorite! I have fond memories of mom making stewed rhubarb (and of being served it at breakfasts in Ireland!). As GraceAnn said in comment 37, I also have almond paste (YUM!) that I’d love to use here, with less (or without) sugar. What do you think? May 26, 2016 These are insanely delicious! I couldn’t get the rhubarb cut properly to get the cute chevron pattern (out of time) but I made my own nice pattern of tiles of rhubarb rectangles, every other one facing up and reversing for the next row so it ended up looking like a basket weave. I couldn’t bear to toss the left over handful of rhubarb so I cut it up into little cubes and tossed them on top. No one in this household can tolerate almond extract so I used vanilla and Courvoisier. I used 1/2 cup each of all purpose flour and whole wheat flour with excellent results. An outstanding recipe!! May 16, 2019 I do believe I’ve made this amazing square four times this spring; have substituted walnuts for the almonds and it’s DELISH as well! Thanks So Much for this. Have passed it on to many friends. Keep up your incredible ways to light up our kitchen each week Deb 👏 June 20, 2023

Cadbury Chocolate Bars | By Product | Cadbury Gifts Direct

Absolutely stunningly beautiful. A huge round of applause! Rhubarb has been added to the shopping list because of you. There you have it, changing lives one recipe at a time. May 23, 2016 I apply it in the kitchen as well. Thus, while if we’re being completely honest, life is currently a swarm of getting recipes ready for the next book (eee!), a to-do list for this month as long as the remainder of this year, kids waking up way too early, mama going to bed too late, an apartment that has yet to clean itself and let’s not even talk about what’s going on in the produce drawer — i.e. real life, and not even a bad one — rather than dwelling on the chaos, I think we should cook for the life we want, not for the life we have. Thus: I choose picnic bars.I made these for work, and they disappeared in about 5 minutes. I received so many compliments and requests for the recipe. This is definitely a dessert I will make again and again. Thanks for posting! June 2, 2017

Chocolate Chunks taste great in the mouth but now you can enjoy them in your ‘wallet’ too! and these Chocolate Chunks I also couldn’t put the baked base in the freezer – no space. But the almond mix melts a bit if you put it on the warm Base, so you can smoosh it around, carefully.

Bars: 50 Easy Treats to Bring to a Backyard BBQ Summer Dessert Bars: 50 Easy Treats to Bring to a Backyard BBQ

It is probably creepy and inappropriate to say here, but the photos of your kids almost make me want to have kids, and to sympathize with all the baby-snatching witches, faeries and crows.) May 23, 2016 Help! Making this right now and I can not understand the rhubarb-cutting instructions for the life of me. Am I supposed to split the stalks in half lengthwise? It doesn’t look like that in the photos but I don’t know what else “Trim rhubarb and cut it half horizontally top to bottom, i.e. like splitting a hamburger bun” could mean. Any guidance??

That ombré chevron is INSPIRED. I just had a sweet thyme-rhubarb scone today and was surprised by how well the flavors worked together (and how well thyme worked in a sweet application), so I’m definitely giving this a whirl this weekend, maybe with a bit of thyme sprinkled on top! May 23, 2016 I read through the comments but have a question, did you peel the rhubarb? Making today and I’ll peel, but did not see that in recipe and always follow instructions the first time, and then start playing. Family here and they love almond and rhubarb. That being said, flipping delicious. Definitely use rhubarb instead of berries (as suggested) because it is very sweet. I didn’t do your beautiful chevron pattern because #aintgottimeforthat. Serrated knife was a great suggestion, thank you! I love rhubarb and almond combinations and this is the most gorgeously styled cake I have seen! I was just thinking that I need to cut down on the time i spend baking but can’t resist trying another of your recipes!… May 23, 2016 I have a 8 oz can of Solo brand almond paste. Ingredients are blanched almonds, sugar, water, and natural flavor. I’d like to use it up. Could anyone provide some coaching in subbing this product in the frangipane? Thanks May 9, 2022

Picnic - Cadbury Brand Picnic - Cadbury

Have you ever had or made French rhubarb pie? It’s a rhubarb pie with a streusel-type crumb topping instead of a top crust. Made it this weekend with your all-butter pie crust and OMG it was to die for. I thought it would appeal to you. :) May 25, 2016 Fruit salad is the quintessential picnic dessert, so much that you might not think you need a recipe. Trust us, you do. Here, sweet syrupy honey, fresh tart orange juice, and bright lemon zest come together to elevate your fruit (even if they're out of season) to new heights. I should start this by saying I’ve been following your blog for years now Deb, and you are a large factor in why my friends think I am a good cook. I love everything you do! But Mole never heard a word he was saying. Enchanted by the feast which lay ahead, and ‘intoxicated with the sparkle’ of light on the river, ‘he trailed a paw in the water’ and lost himself in daydreams. I love rhubarb everything!! These bars are so pretty. Here’s my take on rhubarb this spring with a rustic rhubarb crostata!The MacRobertson Picnic bar was first released in Australia in 1950 (also released in UK by Fry in the 1950s). [1] In 1967, Cadbury acquired MacRobertson Chocolates, a well-respected Australian confectionery manufacturer founded in 1880. The move gave Cadbury another major manufacturing base on the Australian mainland - at Ringwood in Melbourne, Victoria. It also added a range of unique confectionery brands, including Old Gold (launched in 1919), Picnic, Cherry Ripe (created in 1924) and Freddo Frog (created in 1930), which were household names. [2] Just so I understand the cutting process for the rhubarb stalks, are you holding the knife parallel to the board, cutting the full stalk so you’re getting two layers, essentially? That’s what I picture when you say cut horizontally – but I’m lost with the analogy to a hamburger bun because I would hold a bun up on it’s edge to cut *down*. (And what you’re NOT doing is cutting the stalk as if you were cutting a celery stalk into two smaller pieces, top to bottom but straight down through the center of the stalk?)
