I found several variations of this recipe on Pinterest (cause’ that’s where all the groovy recipes are). I eventually settled on Kleinworth & Co. version. Why?.. well they had the best picture of course so they must be the best, turns out I was right!
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries and I’ll just bet you could substitute Raspberries, Apples or Peaches…oh yum, Peaches sound perfect for next time!

August 25, 2017 at 7:05 pmOh man. I am about to make this recipe for the THIRD time in a week: firstly I made the pineapple slice; two days later when that was gone I made one using half pineapple, half frozen peaches chopped up small, and substituting a little of the sour cream amount with vanilla coffee creamer (do you see that we were desperate, and had to improvise with what was on hand). Unable o face a world without that melt-in-your-mouth, buttery, crumbly crust and delicious fruity middle, and having gone a- grocerying yesterday, I am going to give my boyfriend’s request, blueberry, a try now. THANK YOU, Kathi!

August 1, 2014 at 2:15 amHi!! I found these bars and couldn’t decide between blueberry and pineapple so I made them as a blueberry/pineapple combo and they’re amazing. I used 2 c. frozen blueberries and 1 cup of crushed pineapple…the perfect summer bar! Thanks for such a yummy recipe!
