Oatmeal Coconut Raspberry Bars



I am not a big fan of bars - I prefer the taste of cookies, but cookies are so much more labor intensive. I found this bar recipe, though, and decided to give it a whirl. They are really good. I burned the coconut the first time that I tried toasting it - I only had them in the oven for four minutes and they were already way too brown, so I had to start over with new coconut. Lesson learned. Now I know how to toast coconut. I also forgot the salt, but they are fine without it. I used Polaner's All Fruit which looked a little better for you than the regular jams on the shelf. I'll make these again.

Ooh, I would love to have the recipe for these bars. I'm not a fan of making cookies because of the labor batch after batch you mentioned. I look for bar recipes whenever I can but they're often even more unhealthy than cookies.
