Blackberry Crumble Bars

March 30, 2016 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 1 Comment

Hi Everyone,

Do you ever have a recipe that exceeds your expectations? Today’s recipe did just that.  See I was doing the ultimate freezer clean-out and I came across 4 bags of frozen blackberries.  They were hidden in the back of the freezer and have been there for months.  I opened the bag and the berries were quite frosty.  I rinsed them off in cold water and tried one.  They tasted good, sweet and tart.  I didn’t want to waste them and I knew I needed use them.  With so many bags of blackberries I didn’t know what to make?  I came across the idea of making Blackberry Crumble Bars and I am so glad I did.  These bars taste amazing!  They taste like a crisp but in bar form.

Blackberry Crumble Bars

The bars are sweet with the perfect buttery crust and topping. It’s a breeze to whip this together in no time.  The berries are super plump and juicy too.  However, if you’re not a fan of seeds, be warned you’ll get seeds in it.  I don’t mind and did you know that seeds from berries actually clean your teeth?  Yup, true fact!

Blackberry Crumble Bars


To make the bars I used flour, baking powder, sugar and of course butter.  You have to have butter to give it the buttery taste that I just love.  I mixed it together with my hands.  Oddly enough I don’t own a pastry cutter, if I do, I have no clue where it is?  Once I cut the butter in, I added an egg and vanilla extract.  I’m bad when it comes to vanilla extract, I don’t measure it because I love the flavor.  More is better to me.  Once the mixture came together, I added half of it to a greased 9 x 13 baking pan.  I added my blackberries that soaked in sugar and cornstarch, then topped with remaining crumble.  The crumble I could eat with a spoon.

Blackberry Crumble Bars

The recipe makes 24 bars and trust me one, ok two fills me up.  This was my Sunday lunch.  lol  I couldn’t keep my hands out of it.  So darn good.  Crumbles are one of my favorite desserts, its portion control, sweet and full of juicy fruit.  The hardest part is waiting for it to cool.  If you cut it to warm, they will crumble.  🙂  As I am sitting here writing this, I bet vanilla ice cream would be so good with it.  I am drooling thinking of it.

Blackberry Crumble Bars

I just love crumble bars.  I see them when I go to Starbucks, but at 370 calories a bar, it’s not worth it to me.  So glad I can make my own at home.  Makes you kind of wonder what the heck do they put in it to make it so high in calories?  Mine is 197 calories and it is a pretty hefty bar.  I am so happy with the outcome, I hope you enjoy it too.

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you Happy Wednesday! I wanted to say to you thank you so much for all your kind messages about the loss of Samantha. I was overwhelmed by all your kindness. It meant so much to me. Thank you.
❤️
I wanted to share with you my wall in my dining room that I decked out for Valentines Day. I felt that I needed to add some flair to go around my sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I bought  the tissue paper hangings from Amazon. So much fun!
❤️
Sully is my little ham. He saw me taking photos and went over and had to pose. He sure loves the camera. 😂
❤️
The sign and most of the decor on the table is from Krumpets Home Decor. I have a 10% discount code: PBANDP. Link in my bio. As an fyi, Krumpets Home Decor also ships to Canada.
❤️
Have a beautiful day.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
