Rhubarb Bars: Mrs. Glenn Rodberg’s Rhubarb Bars, from the 1966 Around the House.; sixties; 1960s; cookies; oatmeal; recipe; rhubarb; Lake Mills, Iowa

This is one of those recipes that requires patience. It’s pretty good hot out of the oven, but a complete mess. Wait until it cools and it will solidify into an easily-cut bar with a wonderful oatmeal shortbread crust and a tart rhubarb filling.

Great with fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream, or on its own with milk, coffee, or tea.

Thank you, Mrs. Glenn Rodberg and the Lake Mills (Iowa) Graphic!

Drop in again soon for another vintage recipe! I’ll have a different recipe every Sunday afternoon throughout the year. Keep an eye on this page or subscribe to the RSS feed for further details. You can also browse past featured Club recipes as well as some of the vintage promotional cookbooks I’ve used as sources. And I collect many of these recipes in A Traveling Man’s Cookery Book.
