Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

I did not have yellow cake mix, but white and spice. I measured out exactly 18.25 oz of cake mix. I sprinkled mini chocolate chips in between and on top. I will use 1/2-1 cup more of raspberry jam and add a tablespoon of milk next time.

9.2.17 Needed a quick and easy dessert for this evening, and it doesn’t get much easier than this recipe. Had open jars of blueberry and apricot preserves in the fridge (together just enough for 1 cup), so I did substitute that for the raspberry, as well as using butter instead of margarine. Good texture, moist, sweet but not too sweet, and yes, they do taste decadent.

Super easy tasty treat that I made the day before I served them. Followed a number of reviewer suggestions: used Duncan Hines French Vanilla (white) cake mix, added 1/2 t Vanilla, 1/2 t Almond Extract, 1 and 1/2 T Milk and substituted fresh lemon juice for the 2T water. Used Rasberry Preserves instead of jam. Used the entire jar which was a little less than 1 and 3/4 cups. Started checking doneness @ 20 minutes.....took out of oven around 26 minutes. Everyone raved and went back for seconds (and thirds!). Definitely a keeper.

Used a jar of gooseberry I had sitting around .
