How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour until the mixture resembles clumps. Reserve two-thirds for topping.
  3. Press the remaining crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until set and golden.
  4. Gently toss hulled strawberries with sugar and a touch of flour to create a sweet filling.
  5. Spread strawberry mixture evenly over the crust, then sprinkle reserved topping over it.
  6. Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until filling is bubbling and topping is golden brown.
  7. Allow to cool completely, then whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over the bars.
  8. Cut into squares and serve, optionally garnishing with fresh berries or mint leaves.
