These are SOooooo delicious! Another one of Kate's recipes that's a family favorite!

I’ve been making Jam Bars for years but don’t enjoy the “cut the butter into the dry ingredients” part….. then I found YOUR FABULOUS recipe!!!!  No “cutting into” which saves so much time.  I now love making them!  I’m going to try using 1 cup white and one cup brown sugar to see how that works (my previous recipe used only brown sugar so I think it will work great combining the two!). 
Thanks for a super easy, fabulous recipe!

Made these for the first time today. I had an abundance of homemade plum jam to use and it worked perfectly. I did cut down the sugar by one cup as we don't like sweet as much as we used to in younger days. A recipe to save for sure! Love them!

I've made these so many times using a huge variety of "what I've got" fillings and they are always amazing. Thanks for a great recipe Kate! Makes it so nice to clean out the fridge and use some jam that isn't my boy's favourite and turn it into something delicious :)

I just made these with gluten free flour and some fig jam that I made last week and HOT DAMN. They turned out SO GOOD. I'm taking this batch to a party tonight, I'm sure everyone will love them - especially the folks that can't do gluten or eggs. I will be making this recipe again for sure!

I've made these multiple times and a few notes  - 
A tarter jam/sauce is better for more rounded flavor.
Go for the higher amount of jam on the bars. 
Double the full batch for maximum use of those jams that no one picks off the shelf on their own! (Yup, ya heard me - double the batch.) All the better to share with neighbors, friends and everyone you know!
 And yes, these freeze absolutely like a dream.

LOVED! My son has some very challenging food allergies and intolerances.... Dairy, coconut, chicken &amp; egg. This recipe was LOVELY. As we cannot use butter, and cannot use cocounut oil, I used rendered duck lard I had on hand.  It was still devine! Do what you gotta do! Thanks for the easy and adaptable recipe!
