Say hello to the last rhubarb recipe of the season: strawberry rhubarb crumble bars!
This is the kind of recipe that happens when you accidentally order 3 pounds of fresh strawberries from Costco *face palm* and have left over rhubarb chilling in the fridge .
All said and done, I'm thoroughly pleased I crazy over ordered on the strawberries because I got to make these delicious little bars!
Also, for those paying attention, yes this is the exact same recipe as my blueberry crumble bars with one main change.
Instead of blueberries...use strawberries and rhubarb. Pretty much the only difference. Tastes just as good as the blueberry version and is perfect for spring!
My favorite part of this recipe? That buttery, crumble topping. Quick, simple, and oh so delicious. Oh and these bars take less than an hour start to finish. WIN right??
