Maple and Bacon Bars

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, oats, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Fold in bacon and pecans.
2. Spread into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
   For glaze, in a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar, syrup and, if desired, maple flavoring. Drizzle over bars; let stand until set.
