These squares have been accompanying me to every major family or holiday function for the last few years. They are always popular, easy to make and get great reviews.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
Cream the butter and add the flour and sugar. Blend well. Press into 8­inch ungreased pan. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes and cool.

Mix the remaining ingredients together and spread over the cooled base. Bake at 350 F 20­25 minutes. Cut into squares when cool. Yield: 26 squares.
