My family prefers these scrumptious squares to the larger, more traditional fruitcake. Since they're so quick and simple to make, I always include several batches in my annual holiday baking spree. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, melted |
4 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 120 wafers) |
1 cup pecan halves |
3/4 cup chopped dates |
3/4 cup chopped mixed candied fruit |
1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Pour butter into a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with wafer crumbs. Arrange pecans and fruit over crumbs; press down gently. Combine milk and vanilla; pour evenly over fruit. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Yield: about 3 dozen.
