Everyone loved these. The second baking took a little longer than the recipe indicates. I've also tried this using raspberry preserves. Great easy recipe.

This is a keeper. I, too, had to bake the 2nd go-around much longer, as the crust was too soft. But the end result was worth the extra time. I used toasted almonds in place of walnuts, as hubby is allergic to walnuts. And, I used fresh apricots mixed w/sugar blended in a food processor and cooked for 5 minutes in lieu of preserves.

Awesomely delicious! I put 1/4 t. almond extract in the base and almonds on top, made half w/raspberry and 1/2 w/apricot. Quick & easy!

I really did not care for these. I halved the recipe and cooked in an 8 in sq. pan. I did not deviate from the crust recipe at all and thought it was bland and flavorless. I was surprised by the omission of salt -- that would have helped. And perhaps adding additional extract, maybe almond, would be an improvement. I thought the texture was fine. I also increased cooking time by about 5 minutes on each portion per previous reviews. I used half apricot low sugar preserves and 1/2 preserves that were sweetened with splenda. The apricot was the only tasty part of the bar!

These are very addicting for me! My family members didn't love them as much, but I have to be careful in having them around! I have tried them with pecans also, but really like English walnuts better on these. Thanks Marian!

It is hard to stop at just one! I used almonds rather than walnuts, and baked it longer the first time (it just looked un-done). Next time I make these, I probably will grease the pan too, because they are hard to get out once they've cooled! I can't wait to share these little gems!
