Wow! We both loved it!! Was very crumbly on my side, but still delicious.

Yum! I just made these, they’re delicious and wish I’d made a double batch! I did, however, have to use considerably more coconut oil than the recipe called for to get the “wet sand” consistency. Any idea why??
I also added some frozen berries to the jam (just for a bit of freshness) and heated it together with a little cornstarch and let it cool before topping the baked base with the mixture. I understand why you indicate “1/3 cup (or so)” in the method – I’d go for more “or so” next time, bumping up the jammy amount. Thanks so much, Jeanine for yet another outstanding recipe!

In reply to D. Hi D, I'm glad you loved them! It sounds like you could still add a bit more water if the crust was dry... and possibly bake the crust a tad longer for it to firm up more?

Made these delicious bars! The mix wasn’t exactly wet sand tho and didn’t toast in the oven a lot. And how do you get the jam to spread so evenly and nicely ??? It seems my mix was too try despite adding water.

In reply to Mailinh. Ha, aw you're so sweet, this is the best comment ever. I'm not sure if a dessert cookbook is in the future, but I'll keep you posted :)

I made these two months ago and it’s a popular request among family and friends since then. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe! Would you ever consider a publishing a book of your dessert recipes? I’ll be the first to say I would buy it (already have your cookbook :0)).

They are, as everyone says, delicious. I baked up a batch and they were devoured in a matter of hours. I made another batch the next night: same deal. Also just wanted to say that I cook and bake regularly using recipes from various online sources (NY Times Cooking, Cookie and Kate, Minimalist Baker, etc.) and yours have consistently given me the best results. The molter chocolate cakes — so, so good. My partner said it was the best thing he’d ever eaten.
