Raspberry and White Chocolate Crumble Bars

While we wait for Summer to arrive, we’re getting lots of practice in making (and eating) some delicious treats that are ideal for picnics and snacks.

These crumble bars are so moreish - then combine a buttery shortbread base with a layer of fudgy white chocolate and raspberries then topped with an oaty crumble mix. It’s really hard to just have one!

They are really quick and easy to make and just as quick to polish off!! Be warned x
