How to Make Strawberry Jam Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the cake mix and crushed corn flakes, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the dough for the topping.
  6. Press the remaining dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Spread the jam evenly over the crust.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved dough evenly over the jam and gently press down.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the jam is bubbly.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. For easier cutting, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
