Expert Tips

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

Any flavor fruit spread or preserves can be substituted for the raspberry; try apricot or strawberry for a change.

Serve these pretty bars on black or dark plate for a little visual drama. Or, need a gift? Package them in a decorative box and include the recipe.

What was the original recipe? I don't see where the cutting of fat, calories, etc. happened? The butter is still there and the one egg white (if that was a whole egg) doesn't make that much difference.
