Expert Tips

In a hurry? Pick up a container of Betty Crocker® cream cheese ready-to-spread frosting rather than preparing the spice frosting. It's delicious and so quick!

Turn these fall favorites into Christmas bars! Sprinkle with red and green decorator sugar, and add 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries to the recipe.

    OMG! These were so good. It made an 8x8 dish and it was gone in one day by 3 people. It reminded me of a spice or apple cake it make. Totally different taste than the usual zucchini bread recipes. I could see maybe adding baking raisins next time

    I added an extra egg and 1/4c oil, then reduced the cooking time to 20min. To make it "adult" I soaked 1c of raisins in rum and also added it to the batter. I doubled the icing and the bars turned out FANTASTIC and SUPER MOIST!

    I was dissappointed with the recipe as the bars were dry and I baked them 5 minutes less than called for. The frosting was not enough, so I had to double it to make it stretch across the bars. Did anyone else have this problem?
