Directions

1 Heat oven to 350ºF whether using metal or glass pan. Stir Filling Mix, water and eggs, using fork (a few lumps will remain); set aside.
2 Press Ready-Mixed Crust (dry) in bottom of 8- or 9-inch square pan. Bake 12 minutes.
3 Drop cream cheese by spoonfuls onto hot crust and return pan to oven about 2 minutes to further soften cream cheese. Carefully spread cream cheese over crust. Stir filling mixture; pour over cream cheese.
4 Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top begins to brown and center is set. Cool 10 minutes. Spread preserves over top. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. For 16 bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. For ease in cutting, use sharp or wet knife. Store covered in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

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

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.

Sprinkle powdered sugar over lemon bars just before serving.

These bars tasted really good but were really hard to get out of the pan looking nice. Will make again but won't expect a great presentation.

I made this for our Christmas dessert. We haven''t tasted it yet, but we all know that if it was made with a mix, then it is going to taste great. The cream cheese was a little hard to smear evenly. Melting it in the It took up some of the crust, but I don''t think anyone will notice. I will decorate like the picture & it looks like a very festive dessert.
