These gluten free raspberry cream cheese crumble bars officially have the record in our house for being eaten the fastest!

(*Want to know what came in second and third place for getting eaten so quickly? Check out these Gluten Free Strawberry Bars and this amazing Gluten Free Peach Cobbler recipes!!)

Not only did I have to chase my husband out of the kitchen with a wooden spoon (I can be pretty scary!), but I had to rush in order to get these photos taken before the kids got home from school!

No stress!! My family obviously loves desserts!

If you love fresh raspberries, you MUST give this recipe a try.

I promise, you will fall in love with the flavors, just like my family did.

I bought the ingredients for this dessert at one of my favorite places for bargains, Smart & Final. Did you know Smart & Final has tons of gluten free and organic products? This is the place I go to stock up on my kids’ favorite gluten free pasta too…it is 1/2 the price at Smart & Final!!

Who can pass that up?

I picked up all of the ingredients to make this dessert, and a few extras. Do you like to find new bargains to use in recipes? The only thing I added from my pantry was gluten free flour. Hopefully Smart & Final will add this to their products soon :-). I love so much about this store, even their First Street house brand products.

Did you know that Smart & Final donates back a percentage of each and every First Street sale to their local communities? I love when a company gives back to their community.

 

And Smart & Final is opening new stores that are even bigger and better all over California. They will have opened over 20 new California stores by this summer. Smart & Final is known for offering great value, and at Smart & Final Extra! these stores will be no exception! They never charge a membership fee!

  2. Smart & Final is so HANDY – there’s one right down the street from me, and they have some great deals. Looks like you were able to pick up all the essentials!

    I love the combo of raspberries and cream cheese (funnily enough, I posted raspberry sweet rolls this morning… with cream cheese frosting).

    Love how you made yours gluten free. I must give it a try!

    • Oh, I can’t wait to see your raspberry rolls. I had no idea until a few months ago that Smart & Final had so many organics and natural products…at a much lower price.

  7. A few of my friends are Gluten Free now, so I’m finally venturing into new baking territory. Life must suck if nobody ever bakes for you because they can’t be bothered to learn new tricks. I have to say, these are a must next time one of those friends visits.
