Put - in Bars
 #6358
 Faith Ann says:
The original recipe is over 40 years old and the bars tend to be too sweet, too greasy and get too crispy and burned in the corners. The following revisions make this recipe better.

3/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/4 cup flour

Use a jelly roll pan 16"x11"x1" and bake for 30 minutes at 345°F.
