Wonderful buttery little bars, and too easy to make. Used a half pint of homemade raspberry jam. Could use an flavor, really. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Excellent! Instead of raspberry jam, I defrosted then mashed 1 bag of frozen raspberries with 1 tbsp sugar. I also added 1/3 cup of coconut to the topping part of the batter.

These bars were very good. The only change I made was I used strawberry jam instead of the raspberry jam.Thanks for a great recipe.

I did not like this recipe - it was much too sweet - also too much fat. On the plus side, it was very easy to make. Elaine Cape Cod
