Raspberry Crumble Bars
These Raspberry Crumble Bars are absolute perfection. The crumb crust and topping is such a fantastic blend of texture and flavor. The raspberry filling is the star of this dessert; tart and sweet and completely delicious.
As I have gotten older, raspberries have become one of my top favorite fruits. I crave them regularly. I love making desserts that showcase h ow delicious they are.
These Raspberry Crumble Bars were made SEVERAL times in the last few months at the request of everyone who has tried them. This recipe is truly a showstopper.
The crumb crust/topping is the perfect complimentary texture to the saucy raspberry filling. The two combines produce an incredibly divine dessert.
Don’t let this recipe pass you without attempting to make it. You, and everyone else who tries it, will request it again and again.
