These quick delicious jam bars are perfect to make for the kids when they head back to school. Pack in their lunch or heat them up for a dessert treat with vanilla ice cream. I make them with red or black raspberry jam but I'm sure they would be delicious with whatever flavor jam your family enjoys the most.
