5 Ingredient Blackberry Jam Bars

5 ingredients.  Pie like. Taste great. Need I say more?  These Blackberry Jam Bars are a winner.  With only five ingredients (and one that can change to whatever you like), you most likely have them on hand like I did!

I made these for an after school snack and my youngest was so excited to eat them.  He had no idea that they were that easy to make.  Although– I should’ve known he’d love them because my family seems to like the recipes that don’t take very much time to make over the 1910830139 step ones.  When will I learn!?

Original recipe from Brit + Co.

The beautiful thing is that you can use whatever kind of jam or preserves you want.  So if you’re feeling like you want strawberry- done.  I love apricot so I’ll make this recipe and add apricot sometime too.
