Czechoslovakian Pastry Bars
My mom has made these for holiday gatherings for years now, and they are always a hit! My mom likes them with a lot of preserves (jam) and uses more than the 12 oz. that the recipe calls for. You can substitute different preserves or jams to your liking....just make sure it's seedless! Hope you enjoy!
