These were Great! I thickened my own raspberries with sugar and cornstarch and omitted the nuts. Turned out delicious!

Thanks!

These are good but very sweet. Next time I would need to figure out where to cut back on sugar or maybe low sugar preserves

Bars were great, but the 2nd time I made them, I left out the white chocolate chips. They were much better.
