How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2

Combine all crust ingredients except butter in bowl; cut in 3/4 cup butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 3/4 cup mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 10 minutes.
STEP 3

Place figs in food processor bowl fitted with metal blade. Cover; process until finely chopped. Place chopped figs and port in 1-quart saucepan; cook over medium-high heat 3-4 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 3-5 minutes or until figs are softened. Stir in sugar. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes or until syrup is slightly thickened.
STEP 4

Spread fig mixture over hot, partially baked crust to within 1/2 inch of edge. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Continue baking 15-20 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool completely.
STEP 5

Combine powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon butter and vanilla in bowl. Beat at low speed, gradually adding enough half & half until desired glazing consistency. Drizzle over cooled bars.
