Biscoff Brown Sugar Bars w/Cookie & Cocoa Swirl Topping

It's the middle of July already. YIKES!  Slow down summer please!  This month's Secret Recipe Club assignment is Little Bit Of Everything. She is a midwestern woman who is in her 50's like me who likes to cook and travel and save spoons like my grandma used to do.  She has a bunch of great recipes but desserts are usually what catch my eye and this one did because of the Biscoff spread in the recipe. I topped them with a little of Trader Joe's Cookie & Cocoa Swirl to give them just a touch of chocolate flavor.  I always like to add chocolate in somewhere if possible.        

Ingredients for Biscoff Brown Sugar Bars:

Crust:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt

Filling:
3 large eggs
1-1/4 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup biscoff spread
1/2 cup all purpose flour

Topping:
1/2 cup Trader Joe's Cookie & Cocoa swirl

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients on medium speed just until mixture is evenly mixed and moist.

Spoon into an 8 x 8 pan that has been sprayed with PAM.  Press mixture onto bottom of pan in an even layer. Press into pan with fingers.  Wet fingers if mixture is too sticky.  Prick uncooked crust 6-8 times with a fork than bake until golden brown around the edges about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile beat the eggs, 1-1/4 cup light brown sugar, biscoff spread and all purpose flour on medium speed until smooth.

When crust is done pour the mixture evenly over the crust and bake for another 30 minutes or until middle is set.

Cool completely.  Cut into squares.

Microwave 1/2 cup of the cookie and cocoa swirl spread if desired for 30 seconds.  Spread on top of each bar and let the topping set before handling.  You can sprinkle each bar with powdered sugar instead if you desire.

Enjoy!!
