I bake for a group of seniors every week, and this is one of the goodies they request most. I always keep the ingredients on hand for last-minute baking emergencies. Give these bars your own twist by replacing the strawberry jam with the fruit jam of your choice. -Karen Mead Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This site wouldn't allow me to give it 5 stars (was already set with 4). I would give it five stars. I have made them many times and they are very popular with my family.

These are so easy to make, and they're super delicious! It is a great way to use some of the extra homemade jam I've made!

These bars are one of my three children's favorite treats, and are often requested to take to school for their whole class!

These are very good.I add chopped walnuts to crust instead of cornflakes.

I have made these on several occasions and they are very good. The cornflakes may sound like an odd ingredient to add but they give the bars a wonderful texture.
