Combine the rich nuttiness of a buttery almond croissant with the fruity tartness of a raspberry jam bar, and you have these Frangipane Raspberry Bars (no fancy pastry skills required!). The bars are a textural dream: a chewy, brown sugar base that’s crowned with gooey almond frangipane and swirled with vibrant raspberry jam. A sprinkle of toasty sliced almonds adds crunch, contrast, and a touch of elegance. The final flourish of non-melting sugar nods to the croissant inspiration.This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for June 2025.
