Jam bars are scrumptious little melt-in-your-mouth, crumbly shortbread biscuits, with gooey, jammy insides. Half-crispy, half-squidgy, they can be gobbled up any time of the day with your favourite cuppa.
These are easy and fairly quick to make, so you can always keep a jar fill of them around the house. Try alternating your choice of filling for something sweet or something tart, both of which will end up going down equally well.
