Wonderful Snack
These are really yummy. I made them for snacks to put in lunches and they hold up really well and have a great fresh raspberry flavor.
Not as good as I hoped for
These bars were not bad but very messy. The crust did not hold up well. So there were crumbs all over the place when we ate them and it tasted a little "sandy".
Great!
Great way to start the day!
Loved it, with modifications
To help with excess crumbling, I used two eggs instead of one. That worked. Also, I thought it need some salt so I sprinkled coarse grain salt over the top after baking. I would add 1/2 tsp of salt to the dry ingredients. I also strained the seeds out of the raspberries.
