Blackberry Crumb Bars

I have made this recipe before and it turned out so well I had to make it again.  The first time I used this recipe from Bake or Break, I omitted the blackberries and substituted homemade blackberry plum jam instead and the bars worked out really well.  But this time, I had a whole bag full of frozen blackberries sitting in my freezer from a friend at work.  I used the blackberries frozen in the recipe but I should have thawed them in the fridge and drained them before using them because there was a bit too much extra juice, making the bars too moist for my liking.  Besides that, the bars worked out really well.  They had a nice cakey bottom, sweet fruit center, and perfect crumb topping. I will definately keep this bar recipe as one of my favorite crumb cake recipes but maybe keep a mental note to use only fresh berries.  I linked the recipe above, I hope you try this recipe too and enjoy!
