Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Lining the pan with foil makes removing the bars from the pan very easy, and makes cleanup a breeze, too!
  • tip 2
    Fresh berries vary depending on the season. Some may be very juicy, while other times may not be as juicy. Adding cornstarch to the sweetened berry mixture ensures the extra juices are thickened during baking.
  • tip 3
    Cutting the bars is made easier by refrigerating before serving.
