    These are excellent!!! Not sure what the problem is for you people that said they didn't turn out...maybe you do not know how to bake. I even made these with Splenda, and Low-Sugar Grape Jelly...didn't use a paddle, and didn't sift the flour!!!

    Made these for my kids and they were a huge hit! Used blueberry preserves on one half of the pan, seedless blackberry on the other. Some tips for those who say this recipe is too heavy and/or sweet: sift your flour before measuring (even though it doesn't say to use natural peanut butter, like Smucker's (no added sugar and use all-fruit jelly or jam like Smucker's Simply Fruit or Polaner, which aren't as sickening-sweet as others. I took some to work and got rave reviews from co-workers, too. Definitely a crowd-pleasing, easy recipe!

    Fanatstic!!! If you follow the directions (Not say you follow the directions but change the ingredients and claim you're not an amateur they come out fabulously. Seriously, it's so simple my niece and nephews helped and they came out perfectly! Thanks, Ina! <3

    I have to say I am a big fan of Ina's and I am not an amateur baker or cook but these were terrible! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using chocolate chips rather than the jelly and they were awful. The bar part was dry and heavy and I baked it for only 40 min. The bars did not seem burnt but there really was no flavor. I will stick to the blueberry muffins which are awesome and never attempt this one again.
    Sorry Ina :(

    I love these bars!! Other reviews are correct, you need a jam/jelly with some real flavor. line the pan with parchment paper so you can easily lift them out to cool them off faster. They are a great post-run snack!

    Always a hit at my house! You have to eat them in small portions, almost like PB&J fudge.
