I just made these and I was so skeptical that they would form bars with just butter and a little liquid from the jam holding them together. But they work! I like how the jam bubbles up and makes chewy bits. I think strawberry is too sweet so I would use raspberry next time (or maybe even chocolate and caramel sauce?). I doubled the recipe and baked it in a half sheet pan and snuck in about twice as much water in order to activate the cake mix. The box mixes at my store were smaller (15oz?) but it worked. I also want to mention I pressed 2/3 of the crumbles in the bottom and sprinkled the rest on top. Thanks for this recipe- I needed a quick, inexpensive recipe to serve 50 at our local Teen Feed.

Will this recipe work if using the new & reduced size cake mix? These bars look & sound delicious, so I don’t want to mess them up.

I made these today!!! They were a HUGE hit. Mine were not nearly as pretty as yours, but there wasn’t a bite left when the party was over!

In reply to Janelle. Hi Janelle! I would say old-fashioned oats are too big for this recipe. I've never actually tried them though. I would stick with quick oats. Thanks for stopping by and for the comment! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ugh I hate that pressure! It’s like if I bring something somewhere everyone expects it to be TO DIE FOR!?!?! These do look like they would pass with flying colors though!

In reply to Kelly. Hi Kelly! I wish the nutrition info was for the whole batch, but it's for one large square serving. Not my skinniest recipe, but still not as bad as a normal dessert, lol! Thanks for stopping by! Let me know if you have any other questions!

These look amazing and I can’t wait to try them. Just one question about the nutrition information. Are the totals for the entire dish and then you divide it by however many bars you end up with once you cut them? Thank you for sharing your recipes!
