Did You Know...

Jams, jellies and preserves are easier to spread if you stir them vigorously first.

Special Touch

For party-pretty bars, sprinkle powdered sugar over a paper doily to give the top a lacy look and let the raspberry layer show through.

Success

Sprinkle powdered sugar over lemon bars just before serving.
