EXCEPT: I only have whole almonds. Do you think if I gave them a rough chop before going into the food processor (and measured by weight), that they would make an ok substitute? May 23, 2016 Any advice for replacing the almond spread with something else that nut-less? Custard? June 10, 2019 Mine weren’t anywhere near as pretty as yours, and they fell apart when I cut them, but holy cow they’re delicious. I may or may have not eaten 3 before I put them away… May 17, 2021

I am dying to make these as rhubarb and marzipan are two of my favorite things, but I haven’t been able to find any fresh rhubarb this season, sadly. Would it be possible to use frozen? May 24, 2018 These bars are the perfect make ahead dessert. They need a long chill time, so pop 'em in the fridge and leave them overnight. The next day, you'll be rewarded with perfectly set squares you can take on the go. Just traded my neighbour some of my ramps for his rhubarb – yay! Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them just yet. Thanks! May 24, 2016 But they were wildly popular – so much so that, before long, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the owner of the Drury Lane theatre, was getting alarmed by how much business he was losing to the Pic Nics. Rather pettily, Sheridan used his influence as a journalist and politician to have the Pic Nics shut down; but not before the caricaturist James Gillray had ridiculed the lot of them. In his print ‘Blowing up the Pic Nics’, Gillray portrayed an obese Sheridan, dressed in a shabby Harlequin’s costume and with an empty purse dangling from his belt, leading a troupe of professional actors against the Pic Nic ‘puppets’, who are dining, with typical extravagance, on a small, but chic, stage.Help! Making this right now and I can not understand the rhubarb-cutting instructions for the life of me. Am I supposed to split the stalks in half lengthwise? It doesn’t look like that in the photos but I don’t know what else “Trim rhubarb and cut it half horizontally top to bottom, i.e. like splitting a hamburger bun” could mean. Any guidance?? June 19, 2016 These are delicious but I skip the sugar in the crust so there is more of a flavor contest with the filling. Also, 5 tbs of sugar is more than enough. January 25, 2018 These are SO pretty! I love how you laid out the rhubarb and frangipane is one of my all time favorite things – will definitely have to try these out :) May 23, 2016 Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut two 12-inch lengths of parchment paper and trim each to fit the 8-inch width of an 8×8-inch square baking pan. Press it into the bottom and sides of your pan in one direction, then use the second sheet to line the rest of the pan, perpendicular to the first sheet. This is going to make it very easy to remove the bars. I’ll eventually get a kitchen scale, but until then, how much almond flour would I use as measured by volume?

I just made these and they are so good! The most tedious part was cutting up the rhubarb, but it worked out. I cut them like Deb’s diagram and also sliced them lengthwise. My hope was to reduce the stringiness by making the rhubarb pieces smaller and it worked. I couldn’t manage the chevron pattern because I sliced all the diagonals the same direction before I realized my mistake, so I did a sort of subway-tile arrangement.Chocolate Chunks taste great in the mouth but now you can enjoy them in your ‘wallet’ too! and these Chocolate Chunks Do you really think so?’ enquired the Rat seriously. ‘It’s only what I always take on these little excursions; and the other animals are always telling me that I’m a mean beast and cut it very fine!’ I should start this by saying I’ve been following your blog for years now Deb, and you are a large factor in why my friends think I am a good cook. I love everything you do! These sound wonderful and will be perfect to make in a 9×13 variant to take to a family BBQ on Sunday. May 23, 2016

almond rhubarb picnic bars – smitten kitchen almond rhubarb picnic bars – smitten kitchen

I tripled the recipe and made a sheet pan of these for a town event. They are AMAZING! ….a nice balance of butter, sweet, tart, nutty, goodness. They look great on a tray and taste like they came from a good pastry bakery. June 23, 2018

HOW THEY WORK

In April 2009 Cadbury altered the weight of the standard Picnic bar from 50grams down to 48.4grams. Once again…rhubarb is here Deb…you know what I am going to ask for…”The Rhubarb Pie that fell on the Kitchen Floor” pleeeease, you promised us- it is “in writing” too. If you tell us it will definitely be in cookbook #2 that’s the ONLY acceptable excuse. The “history” of this pie is such an interesting one ( and what a title!),don’t leave us hanging. May 25, 2016 I loved making this! The chevron pattern was fun to put together. I think I added a bit too much almond extract though. Otherwise, it’s really tasty! May 3, 2017 Find sources: "Picnic"chocolate bar– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( June 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) I love these! We have allergies, so I made with GF AP flour and “plant butter”. Worked beautifully. The crispy, snappy crust is delightful. May 20, 2021
