Notes

Nutrition: This recipe makes 16 bars. The nutrition facts are for 1 bar. There are 5.2 NET carbs per serving. To Store: The bars should be kept airtight and refrigerated except for when you are serving. They will last 4-5 days.  To Freeze: Place in a freezer-safe container, and they will last in the freezer for 1-2 months.  Notes on Sweeteners: I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.

Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

To Store: Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days in a sealed container. 

To Freeze: Wrap in plastic wrap or tin foil and keep in a freezer-safe container. They will last up to 2 months.

   Just made these Cherry Pie Bars and they are just fantastic!!! I am taking them to a birthday party tomorrow so I doubled the recipe….It worked great! I did make some changes because I had too – I used only 1 – 16oz pkg (thawed) frozen sweet cherries and so did NOT use the cranberries at all. In the crust, since I doubled it, I used
   1 tsp. Vanilla and 1 tsp. Almond Extract. Jam filling – Just used cherries, and took my potato masher to them to break them up a bit…and only used the cherries (16 oz). For the Crumble Topping changes: I ran out of Coconut oil, so instead used about 10 Tablespoons of melted butter… I also added to the crumble; 1/2 Cup of Sliced Almonds after stirring together the crumble topping. and again; because I doubled the recipe I used a 9″x 13″ cake pan. These are so delicious!! THANK YOU for sharing your talents and recipes!! My husband LOVES THESE!!!

   I’d say if you’re using Monkfruit sugar, stick with what the recipe calls for! 1.5 times more is way too much! I had to throw my whole lovely dessert away! Will try again and see if its better!

      I’m sorry you found it too sweet, Wendy. You can definitely adjust to your preference for the sweetener. My conversion tips are just based on what the packages say.

   Can you replace more cherries for the cranberries? We don’t like cranberries at all. But we love just about anything cherry! 😁

      Sure! It will increase the carb count but as long as you are ok with that you can use all cherries.
