Thank you, Warren, for the terrific recipe! The only change I made was to bake them in mini-muffin tins. Outstanding recipe! :)
These were delicious. I didn’t have graham crackers so I used crushed animal crackers. I also substituted the raspberry jam for boysenberry, which is my husband’s favorite. The squares didn’t hold together very well so I will use less jam next time, and there will definitely be a next time!
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.
