Bake 40- 45 min (9x9 inch) pan or bake 50-60 min (8x8 inch) pan. Cool completely before cutting and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I have made these using apricot jam instead of strawberry and they are delicious.

Personal Notes:
Mother made these every Christmas as long as I can remember. Use the best jam you can find so they will have an intense flavor. The original recipe was called "Czechoslovakian Bars". Heaven only knows where she got the recipe, but they are delicious
