Guava bars from Bake Smart: Sweets and Secrets from My Oven to Yours (page 31) by Samantha Seneviratne

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Already left a review but fun to try these straight from the freezer. I’m gonna try them next dipped in chocolate!

    I made these for my Christmas cookie box and they were a HIT. I agree somewhat with another comment below that the flavor initially seemed dull to me. Not sure if the flavor just deepened overtime or what but I grew to love them. I made them ahead and immediately froze them for freshness. As I was putting the boxes together, I ate some from the freezer and loved it! Eventually I just loved them period. Multiple people said this one was one of their favorites from the cookie box!!

    Fell short of my hopes—guava flavor was muted, and the soft floury texture is not what I prefer (though daughter said texture was the best feature of this cookie). Family rates this three stars—good but not great.

    Really delicious. Easy: everything goes in the food processor. This recipe has me considering buying the book.

    I really liked these. Not to sweet and quick to throw together. Made these again using fresh milled soft white and sucanant with great results.
