Step-by-Step Instructions for Best Rhubarb Dream Bars

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup of softened butter until crumbly. Press into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Allow it to cool slightly.
