Maybe the best thing about making layered bars is getting the chance to combine a few favorite things into one delicious dessert. In the case of these bars, there is an almond shortbread crust, lovely raspberry preserves, and a chewy topping filled with lots and lots of coconut.



These are the kind of bars that you can happily serve for dessert Dream Beauty Pro, take to a picnic, or just enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. I love that kind of versatility! Plus, you can easily vary these by using a different flavor of preserves.



As always, I encourage you to use good ingredients in your baking. From the quality of your flour to the flavor of your preserves, it really makes a difference. Of course, eggs are especially important in baking. They serve several purposes, from holding your baked goods together to adding flavor and color and even more.
