The best raspberry oatmeal bars

Dad took these to work last night for a snack and the other nurses were mad he didn't bring the whole pan. They all said they were very, very good. We loved them so much we made another pan tonight.

Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

1/2 C. brown sugar
1 C. flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1 C. oatmeal
1/2 C. butter
3/4 C. raspberry jam

Combine dry ingredients. Blend softened butter in with a pasty blender or hands. Press 2 cups of the mixture in a 8X8 pan. Spread jam over crust within 1/4 inch of the edge. Sprinkle the rest of the mixture over jam and press into jam. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.

These are good cold but serve them warm with ice cream and they are to die for!
