These are yummy. They turned out great. I used strawberry rhubarb jam as I did not have any raspberry jam and the 4 graham crackers crushed equals ½ cup graham crumbs. Very easy to make.
Have made this multiple times and it always comes out perfect. Delicious!!
This was very delicious and easy to make! Perfect as is!
I wonder if you could add PB too? Might be delicious. Also Kitty63 mentioned cinnamon graham crackers, that would be great too!!
These are delicious! Very simple recipe, too. I used cinnamon graham crackers in the topping because I thought it would taste wonderful with the raspberry filling. I think I was right! Thank you, Warren!
Delicious, quick and easy. Adding graham crackers to the topping is a great idea.I added a couple teaspoons of lemon juice to some homemade strawberry jam to thin it a bit and give it some extra tang. Limitless options for the jam filling. I'd like to try KristineChayes' idea to add spice to the crumbs.
These bars are wonderful. This is a favorite with my boys!
Really easy and yummy
These were very easy to make and very tasty. I like the addition of the graham cracker crumbs. It's fun to vary up the recipe by changing out the flavor of jam.
Thank you Warren, I had to make these for my husband as his name is Warren. I followed the recipe exactly. These were the easiest most delicious bars ever. Thanks again Warren and keep baking.
