Beat in enough orange juice to make a good spreading consistency. Frost bars. The original recipe calls for cutting the bars before frosting so that you don't crack the frosting while cutting the bars, but I didn't have that problem, because I just made sure the frosting was set before cutting, and lets face it, I'm not giving these to critics so it's really okay if they are a little cracked looking, they are still delish! And in case you were wondering, here's what my book looks like after years of use. And I can still read the recipes so that's all that counts! Serves - 2 dozen Enjoy!
