CREAMY VERY BERRY CAKE BARS

Creamy Very berry cake bars image

I've been dabbling w/ different ingredients for an easy cake bar recipe using what I have on hand to NOT have to go to the market & came up w/ these. My husband usually is not a fan of cream cheese & that's why I ended up using some cream cheese ready made frosting Believe me, it makes it less " cream cheese" tasting. I know it sounds odd but he ate the whole pan w/in 2 days. lol.

VERY BERRY BARS

I adopted this recipe on JAP and made a few changes. I made two versions...one is a blueberry bar using almond extract and a dash of cinnamon in the sugar topping. The second is a triple berry bar using vanilla extract. I dusted powdered sugar over these for presentation. These are very moist and more like a dessert than a bar cookie. Delicious!
