I used a triple fruit jam for this but any flavor will due. The nuts may be varied as well. Some nice combos would be: apricot jam and almonds; raspberry jam and hazelnuts.

How To Make streussel topped ribbon bars

  • Step 1
    Line a 7 1/2 x 11 inch baking dish with foil, letting foil extend just a bit beyond edge of pan. Butter foil. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Cream butter and sugar. Add egg. Stir in flour and salt. Pat 2/3 of dough in pan. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Spread partially cooked dough with jam.
  • Step 4
    Mix nuts and oatmeal with remaining dough. Crumble evenly over jam. This won't completely cover the jam. Bake 35 more minutes.

    Cool thoroughly before carefully lifting bars out of pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into 24 pieces.
