You may have heard me mention once or a hundred times, that I would pick pie over cake any ‘ol day.
 
But sometimes, pie is hard to take somewhere.
In most cases, it requires a plate and fork…
In some cases is served “a la mode”…
and these are good things,
but when I am asked to make something like “bars” for food committee for school or church, I want to leap beyond the brownie, or the cookie bar…
 
and jump right into pie!
 
That’s why these are the best of both worlds.
 
Tastes like pie, no need for ice cream with that yummy (almost cheesecake like) sour cream filling, and you can eat them (almost effortlessly) with your hands.
 
And, guess what? If you don’t want them to be Strawberry, make them any ‘ol flavor your little heart desires!
 
Personally, my next plan for these is to make them cherry… drool.
 
But for now, I am going to share the recipe for these beauties:

  1. Oh my goodness, these look soooo good. I really like the Pie bar idea. You can grab one and go. Don’t need a fork.
