These bars are really quite good, Cher! I substituted Smucker's Blackberry Jam for the raspberry and the results were fantastic! Otherwise, I prepared as instructed following all the steps as Cher listed. I loved the almond addition in the topping adding a nice crunchy texture! Quite delicious and devoured by all!
