Berry Crumble Bars

As the kiddos fell fast asleep last night, I had a hankering for something sweet (stupid sweet tooth!).  These tasty treats have been on my list of goodies to make as part of the "A Month with the Barefoot Contessa" Project.  A few simple ingredients with a whole lot of flavor - Ina Garten's Raspberry Crumble Bars.  Although, I didn't have any raspberry jelly in the pantry...

I replaced the raspberry jam that Ina's recipe calls for with some delish strawberry mango jam I picked up at the Farmer's Market last weekend. 

YUM!

These literally took about 10 minutes to put together.

Mmmm... it's a good thing I went for a run yesterday 'cause this treat was worth every calorie.  The buttery crust, mixed with the sweet, gooey & fruity jam worked perfectly with the granola and salty almond topping.  Click here for the printable recipe at the Barefoot Contessa's website.

I highly recommend whipping up a batch for the playoff games this weekend.  GO PATS!
