Strawberry Crumb Bars are a delicious breakfast or dessert that couldn’t be easier or simpler! You can do this with any flavor cake mix, chocolate strawberry bars are good, and for double the strawberry flavor use a strawberry cake mix.
These bars are very good with other flavors of preserves as well, be sure to try blackberry, cherry, blueberry, etc. If prefer a bolder flavor use a can or two of your favorite pie filling instead!

I love this recipe! I’ve made it before and my family loved them. It’s a great summertime dessert or even breakfast if you get creative with the ingredients. In fact, one of these days I’m going to make some blueberry crumb bars for myself because they sound amazing! ~~Penny from Illinois
