2.10.20 I thought I was pulling out a jar of damson plum preserves from the pantry, instead, I opened a jar of fig preserves. Sooooo fig preserves it was! Although this was not what I wanted to use, it still was tasty because the creamy chocolate chips which melted perfectly was more predominant than the flavor of the preserves. This is EXTREMELY easy to make, the texture has good consistency, the crust did not crumble (as occasionally happens on bar recipes), not too overpoweringly sweet, and pretty darn good. Read More
