Poster's Notes:
My recipe was shared with me about 30 years ago when I was the very young wife of my petroleum engineer Venezuelan husband at a Standard Oil outpost in the Venezuelan jungle. I became friends with a Venezuelan Jewish girl whose new husband was also there and she had her recipe book from her bubbie who was a holocaust survivor from Hungary. She gave my friend the handwritten recipe book with recipes from the grandma's grandma and that included these Orange Bars which she shared with me and so I share with you and think how nice that our recipes no matter from whence they come, have stayed with us just as our other customs and traditions.
