Steps:
- Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 °F.
- Cream the sugars and the margarine together. Add in your two eggs and beat in completely.
- Add in the molasses to the margarine/sugar mix and mix in thoroughly.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Combine the wet and dry and mix well.Then add in your raisins.
- Divide the dough into two pieces, and from each half form three long rolls on a cookie sheet.
- Build them up as high as you can and they fit across a baking sheet, width-wise. When you build them up, you get a thicker, chewier bar.
- Bake them in the oven at 375 for 13-15 minutes, and do not over/under bake. This from my grandma's instructions. So they need to be baked until the edges are cooked and the middle slightly still underdone.
- Slice them across into about 8-10 squares when they are fully cooled, needless to say, this recipe makes a large amount, you can end up with 40-60 of the little bars!

GRANDMA'S FRUIT BARS
The aroma is almost Christmas-like because of the cinnamon and cloves. The bars are sweet and spicy and the topping of a light confectioners icing is a nice touch. I think this would also be delicious served with whipped cream. I would take this to a potluck or even a bake sale!
