I haven’t quite been able to forget how delicious these crumb bars turned out. I love me some raspberries and combined with a buttery shortbread, it’s hard to stop munching on these. I divided the dough in half and did half with a Nutella topping and the other with raspberry jam. The raspberry jam won.
