I'm wondering why these are not served in places like Starbucks or something like that? They are much better than any desert item you can purchase there. This is a keeper recipe for sure. For those coffee drinkers out there, they are a perfect compliment.

I don't know if this is a cookie bar or a coffeecake but I've served it as both. Really easy to make as so tasty.

I use blueberries instead of raspberries and I have none left when I take this to picnics and family reunions.

Used frozen mixed berries - strawberries, blackberries, blueberries that were partially thawed. also added a bit more cornstarch. Used less sugar in dough per our taste. Will become a favorite with family and friends for sure.

Very good and easy to assemble. Made with sweet dark cherries and it turned out wonderful. Disappeared in a flash.

I made a half recipe using cherry pie filling instead of raspberries and it came out great. When it was still warm, I had a piece with vanilla ice cream over it. Delicious! Very good recipe and one that I'll make again.

These are really good bars. Easy to make too. I'll probably use slightly less cinnamon next time though. I halved the recipe because that's all the shortening I had and it turned out great.

You could propably use a can of cherry pie filling instead of raspberries. That would be a lot less tart, while keeping the red color of the bars.
