These Strawberry Crumble Bars come with a gooey strawberry center surrounded by a nice vanilla flavoured pastry. These bars resemble the flavour profile of strawberries and cream with some crisp and slight chewiness!

For my Strawberry Crumble Bars, I used a combination of fresh strawberries and strawberry jam! The fresh strawberries, which may be slightly sour, adds a tartness to the flavour profile. In addition, the strawberry jam provides the sweetness of the strawberry and gel together the crumble bars!

Furthermore, this recipe is not at all difficult to assemble and takes at most 30 minutes to prepare!

My personal reasons why I love these strawberry crumble bars is because of how the flavours and textures come together. The bottom pastry is chewy while the top is slightly crisp with a gooey center. I really appreciate this combination of textures and how tasty it is in a bite!

Without further ado, let me provide you the full recipe!
