P.S. The cheddar cheese sounds gross, but it doesn't overwhelm at all. -
Mmmmmm, these were delicious! A DEFINITE keeper. This tastes a lot like a cobbler, but cuts into squares. I will be making these again. I'd like to try them with different flavors of jam. This recipe gets a 5 for both taste & ease. Thanks! -
wanted something different for a potluck. I didn't even get one as they disappeared before I got to the dessert table. Everyone wanted the recipe so I directed them to zaar. Thanks for the hit

I made these months ago, but must have forgotten to review them. It was the name that caught my eye!!!They were so simple to prepare, but by cracky, they were great! I thought perhaps the cheddar cheese would overwhelm the bars, but it didn't at all. We devoured them in no time! (not even a crumb left!) Thanks for sharing!
