Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 13 × 9 × 2-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Combine corn oil spread and sugar in a medium bowl; beat on medium speed until well blended. Add egg white; beat until blended.
- Stir together flour, cocoa, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the sugar mixture, beating well. Gently press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or just until set. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Spread the fruit spread evenly over the crust. Cut into bars or other shapes with cookie cutters.
- For the drizzle, place white chips and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) for 30 seconds; stir. If needed, microwave in additional 15-second intervals, stirring after each, just until melted and smooth. Use immediately to drizzle over the bars. Let stand until set.
