A buttery brown sugar crust lends a toffee flavor to these decadent bars. A topping of chocolate, toasted coconut and almonds provides the perfect finish.
This Strawberry Jam Bars recipe contains light brown sugar, flour, philadelphia cream cheese, strawberry jam, whole grain cereal flakes with pecans and more.
I received this an email from ATK. I substituted dried cranraisins for the dried cherries, semi-sweet chocolate chips for bittersweet chocolate and used my hand mixer. Dried cranberries may also be used instead of the cherries. Quick oats may be used instead but will yield a cookie with slightly less chewiness. These cookies will keep for 4 to 5 days stored in airtight container or zipper-lock bag, but they will lose their crisp exterior and become uniformly chewy after a day or so. I only baked one cookie tray at a time. These were very good. I froze them in individual bags for a sweet treat.
