I teach Culinary Arts at a high school. Two of my students made these and they were delicious!! They did have to add cream of tartar to make the meringue stiff enough, but other than that, the recipe was great. Thanks, Dinah

I really like this combination of flavors and didn't find it too sweet. I only used half the butter and it was enough, so I recommend doing that, and then you can mix in more butter later 1 Tbsp at a time if you feel so inclined. Meringue was a cinch, just whip it up in a standing mixer till it looks like shaving cream. Only trouble I had was spreading it evenly, so some bars had more meringue than others.

These are delicious and easy. The only trouble I had was that the crust was a bit greasy. Next time I will cut the amount of butter used in half.

Tasty but I would suggest about 5 minutes less in the oven for the crust and an extra 5 minutes (over the 20) for the meringue. Following the recipe rendered my crust crumbly and the meringue watery about 30 minutes after taking it out of the oven.

I've made these two years in a row for the holidays and they are amazing. If you love almond and raspberry these are the perfect bars. So addicting!

Wonderful bar and nice to have almond paste in the crust. Love almond flavor in anything. The only change for us is to use apricot jam because we prefer it with the almond taste. This, of course, is a personal preference and not a criticism.

These are a nice change from the "cookie". THe rasberry layer is strong enough even though it doesn't look like much, may even reduce it next time just a tad.

Easier to make than I thought. I was out of almond extract and used coconut instead, turned out fine. I don't have much experience with meringue and was a bit worried but it turned out fine. I used extra large eggs but the layer was not too much as others have complained about. The jelly layer does not look very thick but the taste is plenty strong. I really liked these and my boyfriend did too and he usually only likes chocolate desserts.

I havent made a meringue before so I may have messed it up, but I am a seasoned baker and Im stumped why these turned out so incredibly soggy, they were actually swimming in liquid in the pan. I promise I followed the directions. Such a shame, they were so amazingly expensive to make.

These bars were delicious and got eaten up right away, but... I did have some difficulty making them. Spreading the crust in the foil was impossible for me, and I decided to get rid of the foil and just spread it directly onto a very well-greased baking dish. I don't think it affected it much. Then, I somehow messed up the meringue part because once I started adding the sugar, it just got less and less stiff. I finally gave up and just put what I had on top. They still turned out very tasty, but beginners beware.

Mmm I am very happy with how these turned out! Made them for my family and mom & dad both thought they were delicious. They look really pretty & gourmet. I chose not to put coconut on top and opted for slivered almonds instead... it tastes really good and I'm happy I used them instead of the coconut. Also I used a full small jar of raspberry cranberry jam. The crust was hard to spread in the pan but it did work out in the end. All the effort was worth it and I will make again.

Very easy and quick. The Almond Paste was a little hard to find and not cheap! Made a kinda expensive cookie but it was a hit at the cookie exchange! Cut into small squares because it's so rich.

Great flavour combination! :D I like my merengues a little more dry, so I elongated the second baking time.. and lowered the temperature for that to 130 celcius. Also I used homemade blueberry jam.... Just perfect! :D
