FRUITY TROPICAL BARS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. You will be using a 9 x 13 pan, either sprayed with cooking spray, or lined with foil. Leave edges of foil overhang for removing bars after cooled...totally optional. I didn't use foil this time..
• 2. I used my food processor throughout this whole recipe. You can of course make it with a hand held mixer. For crust: in the bowl of your food processor, pulse to combine flour, powdered sugar and baking powder.
• 3. Now add the butter chunks and pulse till crumbly.
• 4. Pour into prepared pan, and pat crust into place, evenly with finger tips.
• 5. Bake for 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, while making filling.
