These squares instantly reminded me of the 80’s. I don’t think I’ve seen or tasted them since I was a kid – a delicious treat to bring forward from my childhood. The kids loved them!

Mix flour, sugar, Earth Balance, baking powder and egg in a stand mixer until it is crumbly. Spread on the bottom of a 8” square baking tin and cover with the crushed pineapple.
