Almond Raspberry Bars
|
This bar recipe combines two of my favorite things,
raspberries and almonds. The sweet, nutty flavor of this bar recipe is always
welcome in our house. Well, at least it always is by me. Trying to get my almost
3-year-old to eat any kind of nut except peanut butter is a challenge. Hopefully
she’ll learn to appreciate almonds because they are by far my favorite nut and
I love to make recipes that have them. I hope you like them too!
