Recipe View Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the filling to set properly. (60 minutes)

For an extra nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling.
Plumping the raisins in warm water or rum for 15 minutes will make them extra juicy and flavorful.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the pan loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
Store leftover squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

  • Loyce Gerhold

    These squares are a game-changer! So much easier than individual tarts, and the taste is spot on.

  • Letitia Gradyoreilly

    The crust was a little too crumbly for me. Next time, I'll try adding an extra tablespoon of butter to the base.

  • Lawson Kirlingoyette

    I added a splash of maple syrup to the filling and it was incredible! Definitely a new family favorite.

  • Kaley Reinger

    My family devoured these in minutes! Will definitely be making them again.
