Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup corn syrup
• 2 tbsp margarine
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 cup dried cherries

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Begin by plumping up your dried cherries. You can do this by soaking them in warm water for a few minutes until they become plump and juicy. Once plumped, drain any excess water and set aside.

2. Crust:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of margarine. Mix the ingredients until they form a crumbly texture.

3. Press Into Pan:

   • Grease a 9-inch square pan and press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom. Ensure that the crust is compact and covers the entire base of the pan.

4. Bake Crust:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until it turns light brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

5. Topping:

   • In another mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, remaining 1/2 cup of white sugar, corn syrup, and 2 tbsp of margarine until well blended.

6. Add Chips and Nuts:

   • Stir in the chocolate chips, walnuts, and the plumped dried cherries into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

7. Pour Over Crust:

   • Pour the topping mixture evenly over the baked crust, ensuring that it covers the entire surface.

8. Bake Again:

   • Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the topping is set and golden brown.

9. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut the bars into your desired size and serve.
