  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the raspberries with a fork or potato masher.
  • The crust is best when chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • To make sure the bars are evenly baked, rotate the pan halfway through the baking time.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
