Made as directed except for the almonds, DH won't eat nuts and these little wonders were for him and DS. They came out really pretty and the guys have almost wiped them out while I was gone today. DH says that he wants the last one with ice cream after dinner. Easy to put together and a great hit with my men. Thanks Lainey :D -
Made this recipe as given . . . well, almost! I DID add a quarter cup of frozen blueberries, thawed, patted dry & slightly chopped before adding them to the blueberry preserves! I just wanted a blast of blueberry, & that's what I got in these very delicious bars! Definitely want to make them again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday tag]
