YUM! This is exactly what I was looking for! I love the flavor of the shortbread. Next time I will cut down on the bake time of the shortbread layer (a little hard) and the final step I baked a bit longer for the crumb topping to turn brown. -
Wonderful. A keeper. -
Holy moly! I don't even know how to describe the awesomeness of these little bars. I did not add the chocolate chips because I felt they would overpower the raspberry flavor too much, and was happy without them. The crust was buttery and just the right thickness for my taste. Thank you! -
I actually make this square out of the Robin Hood Baking Festival Cookbook. The recipe I use calls for milk chocolate covered caramel balls instead of the chocolate chips. However, I haven't been able to find them lately. This square is truly delicious but very rich. Cut into small pieces! -
Would be better w/ white chocolate chips instead of chocolate chips. Loved the short cake crust. I made them for a party only a couple people tried them cookies and cake went super fast. I used 2 cups of chocolate chips and 2 cups of Rasp preserves.
