HOW TO DOUBLE RECIPE

Serving a crowd? No problem. Just prepare recipe as directed, doubling all ingredients and baking in a 13x9-inch Chinet Bakeware® pan. Since the pan heats so evenly, these fruity bars will bake to perfection each and every time. The tight-fitting lid also makes this the perfect pan for transporting the bars to your destination, and the nonstick finish makes it so easy to serve the bars right from the pan.
