I absolutely love this recipe! I was bored one day and found this and made it. I left out the walnuts because i didnt have any but i doubt it needed them. My family went crazy over it and said it was one of the best desserts I've made yet (I make a lot of desserts). I will definitely make this again.

This was delicious! All my cookies tend to turn out hard, but the jam kept the dough from stiffening too much. I replaced raspberry jam with currant jam and didn't add the walnuts. I then made a batch with blueberry jam which was delicious. Great for leftover jam!

Really delicious. Everyone raved about them and asked to take some home. I had to change the recipe a little to use what I had on hand, so I ended up using apricot preserves, and chopped pecans instead of chopped walnuts. I plan on using the original recipe next time. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!

LOVE these bars! I scatter semisweet chocolate chips over the jam and let them melt, then put on the meringue. Yum. Chocolate and raspberry!

I brought these bars to a barbecue and they got rave reviews! I was a little worried when I made them because people were talking about how messy they were--I just lined the pan with foil and pulled them out to cut them and it was no big deal. I followed the other reviewers' advice and sprinkled the nuts on the raspberry jam.

Very nice levels of flavors with the buttery crust, sweet n sticky jam fillings, topped with a light and airy sweet crisp! I just wouldn't consider it "elegant" looking because they are difficult to cut without breaking and crumbling.

These are incredible and fairly easy to make. I followed the suggestions to put the nuts directly onto the jam and that worked well. My tip: make sure to use LARGER than a one quart bowl for mixing the meringue!

this turned into a sticky, crumbly mess. It was however, a tasty mess.

I sprinkled the walnuts over the jam and then I put the meringue on. I sprinkled a few more walnuts on top of that instead of folding them into the meringue. Great recipe! Thanks Rosina!
