Indulge in Gluten-Free Delights: Irresistible Chocolate Strawberry Gooey Bars
There’s nothing quite like a comforting dessert bar, and I absolutely adore delicious bar recipes. It seems that gluten sensitivity has become increasingly prevalent, touching more and more families every day. As awareness grows, so does the demand for delightful gluten-free products and recipes that don’t compromise on taste. While I don’t always cook entirely gluten-free, I’ve noticed a significant positive difference in how we all feel when I do. This insight has led me to be more mindful about the ingredients in our meals, extending from nutritious breakfasts for the kids to every other dish we prepare.
Lately, my culinary focus has expanded to creating more gluten-free desserts. My husband, like many others, faces dietary restrictions, and I long for him to enjoy the treats I bake without having to pass them up. That desire sparked the creation of these Gluten-Free Chocolate Strawberry Gooey Bars. And let me tell you, they were an absolute triumph! They turned out incredibly tasty, and honestly, you would never guess they are gluten-free. This recipe is a vibrant testament that “gluten-free” absolutely does not equate to “flavor-free” or “no dessert.” In fact, it opens up a world of exciting culinary possibilities!
The world of gluten-free baking has just gotten a whole lot easier and more accessible, thanks to Pillsbury! Did you know that Pillsbury has launched its first-ever line of gluten-free cookie dough, pizza dough, and pastry/pie dough? I was beyond excited to discover this innovation and even more thrilled to put it to the test. We all know that busy parents and individuals often don’t have the luxury of time to prepare cookies and other baked goods entirely from scratch. Ready-made doughs and crusts have always been a convenient solution, but until now, those with gluten intolerance were left out. Pillsbury has changed the game, making gluten-free eating incredibly easy, convenient, and utterly delicious. These fantastic new products are conveniently located in the refrigerated aisle of your local grocery store, ready to transform your baking experience with virtually no prep time required. This means more time enjoying delicious treats and less time fussing in the kitchen.
To celebrate the exciting introduction of these new gluten-free products from Pillsbury, I’m hosting an exclusive giveaway for a premium baking set!

Ingredients
- 1- 14.3 oz container of Gluten Free Pillsbury Cookie Dough
- 1 cup strawberry preserves (I used a delicious strawberry version of my homemade raspberry marmalade)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Spray a 9×13 inch glass baking pan with cooking spray, ensuring an even coating.
-
Carefully press the entire container of Pillsbury Gluten-Free Cookie Dough into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to cover the entire bottom.
-
Spread the strawberry preserves over the cookie dough base in a thin, uniform layer.
-
Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut over the preserves, followed by both the white chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, and finally, scatter the mini marshmallows on top.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the base is set.
-
If the top isn’t as toasted as you’d like, briefly broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
-
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

What makes these bars even more incredible is that beyond the convenience of Pillsbury’s Gluten-Free Cookie Dough, many of the other components are naturally gluten-free! The homemade preserves are inherently gluten-free, and delightful additions like coconut, chocolate chips (both white and semi-sweet), and marshmallows are all wonderfully free from gluten as well. This makes creating a truly inclusive and delicious dessert incredibly simple and reassuring. Yippee for easy, flavorful, and guilt-free indulgence!
