So you can find me on any given morning hiding from public judgement in my closet cursing the candy companies for making their wrappers so loud. Inevitably, I will be found because of the super-sonic-noise-making Snickers wrapper, and I try to convince either my children or my husband, through garbled speech and chocolate drool , that I was in the closet looking for a missing flip flop. My children haven’t caught on yet, although my husband is hot on my trail. I am clearly being stymied by dessert prejudices across the land. Anyway, I believe I have found a way to hurdle the rules that are clearly trying to cease culinary progress. Add fruit. Yep, that’s it. Add fruit to dessert and bah-jammm! Instantly breakfast affirmed. And these bars take it a step further with the addition of cream cheese. Because cream cheese is the breakfast approved cheese. Who makes these rules?! So let’s get down to it…Strawberries and Cream Bars.
How to Make Strawberries and Cream Bars
They start with a cake mix. Isn’t that great? Just mix it up with an egg and some butter. It will be very dense…
Press it into your pan, partially bake it and top it with a simple cream cheesey/cheesecakey layer…
Slice up some strawberries and spread those on top…
Then crumble up the reserved crust mixture and sprinkle on top of the strawberries…
When it’s done baking it will look like this…
Let it cool and cut it into squares.
And then eat your dessert anytime of the day. Because no one is the boss of you!
