      Thanks, I never had raspberries until I married someone from NY state and his mom had a raspberry patch–too hot to grow raspberries where I grew up. Very quickly, they became my favorite berry.

    Hello,
    I am of Danish descent and was looking for this recipe across the internet. I found an alternate and delicious hindbaer snitter (Danish raspberry bars) recipe at
    http://www.food.com/recipe/raspberry-bars-hindb-r-snitter-299496?mode=us&scaleto=12.0&st=null
    that turned out well.
    Yours looked good, but instructed the adding of oats, which are not included in your ingredient list so I couldn’t make this. I thought you would like to know,
    and good luck with your bars!
