Wow, what a fabulous recipe! I made this recipe exactly as is, adjusting the servings to 3 as my son ate most of the strawberries I had bought for this recipe. lol. Very easy to make, ready in no time, and absolutely fantastic flavor! I served it warm as a tart/pie/cobbler rather than in bars but either way would be good. First time I've ever used egg to make a crumb base/topping, but it worked out wonderfully. We will definitely be making this again, often! Thanks for sharing this fabulous and easy treat!Reply
