I wanted the cookie part to be quite thick, and the rich topping part to be fairly thing...that was the balance I was aiming for.The yuzu juice is not used. Use it in hot pots, or mix with honey and hot water and enjoy as a drink.This tastes better the next day than when it's freshly baked. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

There are a few versions of this recipe out there but a family friend shared this with me in 1979 and I haven't changed it since.The recipe calls for cherry pie filling but blueberry or raspberry pie filling will work just as well.This freezes well, too, so you can save some for later!Although they are called Holiday Squares you certainly don't need a holiday to bake them :)

Just a great dessert square :)

This is a recipe shared by my sister-in-law.

Argentine chef extraordinaire Osvaldo Gross published this recipe years ago on his Instagram account. I have a few of his cookbooks and can attest his recipes are very good.#cookies #bars #bites

He told me that I have to use Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge for the brownie mix and Jell-o's Cook & Serve Vanilla for the vanilla pudding mix! So I made it like he said this time. Sometimes I put some brandy in as well, even though it's not listed in the ingredients... I think these eclair squares may be a little too sweet for Japanese tastes, but it seems that Americans would love it.Since this recipe is basically just mixing and baking, there aren't really any real tricks to it. I tend to add 2-3 teaspoons brandy to the brownie mix and 1/2-1 teaspoon to the vanilla pudding to give the eclairs a nice aroma. Recipe by Mama Imani
