Chunky Chocolate Jam Bars
"This recipe is from Kraft Foods and sounds as though it would be great for the holidays. The recipe calls for raspberry jam but I think that strawberry would be equally good and festive."

i also got this recipe from Kraft, I think the combo of raspberry jam and chocolate are magic, so i will stick with raspberry, but maybe apricot..these bars are nice and chewy and the textures are very good. the next time, i will use semi sweet morsels or maybe the new bittersweet morsels instead of the chopped semi sweet squares. -
I also got this from Kraft Foods. It's really sweet and delicious... almost like a granola bar. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the baking squares. Mine came out a little crumbly... so we just used a spoon to eat them! -
Great tasting bars! Loved the mix of oats, coconut, chocolate and strawberry jam!! Fast to prepare and ... fast to eat!!! Thanks Paula!! :) -
I made these tonight and did just as Paula G. suggested and substituted strawberry jam for the raspberry jam. These are excellent! Great recipe and very easy to make!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
