Very good!! Made them for a family get together and everybody wanted the recipe and some to take home. Yes, the bars are not that sturdy but who cares when they taste this good.

This is delicious. Used cherry preserves and it was even better!

I was very disappointed in this recipe - especially after reading many favorable reviews of it! With such an extreme crumbly nature, it doesn't function well as a bar dessert. However, the crumbly consistency could have been tolerable if the dessert was flavorful - which it was not. It was rather frustrating to go to all the work to prepare it, and then end up with a product that tasted so poorly.
