Ingredients for Berry Jam Bars

• 1 bag Milton’s Multi-Grain Gluten Free Crackers
• ½ cup powdered milk
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup melted butter
• 8 oz berry-flavored jam

How to Make Berry Jam Bars

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Place Milton’s Multi-Grain Gluten Free Crackers in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form.
• Add the powdered milk, sugar, and melted butter to the crumbs. Pulse until the mixture resembles soft sand.
• Reserve ¼ cup of the mixture for topping.

2. Assemble the Tart Pan:

• Spray a 14-inch tart pan with removable base with baking spray.
• Pour the cracker mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
• Press down firmly with the bottom of a glass to compact the crust.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

3. Add the Jam Layer:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• After chilling, remove the tart pan from the fridge and spread the entire jar of berry jam evenly over the crust.
• Sprinkle the reserved ¼ cup cracker mixture over the top of the jam.

4. Bake the Bars:

• Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until the jam is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden.

5. Cool and Slice:

• Allow the bars to cool completely for at least 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight for easier slicing).
• Remove from the tart pan and cut into small squares.
