Some desserts I make on my blog that I hope everyone will try… this is one of them! I love my cherry pie bars but these were fantastic. They were baked to perfection and I loved the strawberry pie filling swirled throughout in the sour cream. They were so easy to make and that first bite was so creamy and delicious that it gave me hope that spring… and summer is coming!

Can you substitute strawberry preserves for the filling ?
Yes, that will work too.
I JUST FINISHED MIXING EVERYTHING TOGETHER & PUT IT IN TO BAKE!! I WILL COMMENT BACK IN 45 MINUTES ON HOW EVERYONE FELT ABOUT THEM. (COOLING TIME INCLUDED!)?
I just took this out of the oven! I made it so my residents can have it for breakfast in a few hours. Looks great and smells amazing! Very easy recipe that I plan to make at home.
These bars are wonderful. I would like to double the recipe to do a 9 x 13. Would I double everything, like baking powder & soda?
Made these and did not have baking soda so I subed baking powder for it and removed the salt bc baking powder is a little salty in itself. Came out jiggly. Hopefully it will set more after it cools completely. Anyone else have any issues?
