“Easy To Make and Bake” Raspberry Bars
I love this recipe from Land-O-Lakes. It meets the Partybluprints’ criteria of simple yet special! These Raspberry Bars use only a few ingredients, only take a few minutes of prep time, yet they tastes like Grandma was in the kitchen all day. They make a perfect Spring Luncheon dessert, picnic treat, or snack with afternoon tea.They are also easy enough for a kids’ cooking project.
