aluminum foil
Ingredients
2cupsall-purpose flour
1/2cupbrown sugar packed
1cupunsalted butter cold
1cupgolden raisins
8ouncesfruit cake mix chopped
1cupsliced almonds
14ouncessweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat oven at 325-degres. Line jelly roll pan with a wide strip of aluminum foil. Add nonstick spray all over.
In a large bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter and mash until it is crumbly. Press the mix into the prepared pan. Bake for about 18 minutes, until browned.
In the same bowl, place the raisins, fruit cake filling, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir to coat everything. Dollop the mix all over the crust; it's too thick to spread, so distribute as evenly as possible. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool at least an hour. Slice into bars. Store in a sealed container.
