A mom of one of Barbara’s high school friends would make a version of these dessert bars, and when she ran across this recipe in her Glenwood (college cooperative) stash, she had to know if they were one in the same.
Her verdict? Barbara was pleasantly surprised to find out they were indeed just as delicious as the ones from her memories.

For diabetic could I use splenda in place of powder sugar??? Thanks!😀
Deb – We have not tried anything other than powdered sugar in this recipe. Here’s a link to a blog post that talks about using a bit of corn starch with Splenda in a food processor to make a substitution for powdered sugar (https://www.thespruceeats.com/sugar-free-powdered-sugar-replacement-521019) but we haven’t tried it!
These all look delicious!!! How can you choose????
I made this the night before for Sunday school the next morning. Kept it in the fridge overnight. I stopped at 3 cups of sugar and omitted that last 1/2. They were plenty sweet enough. Except for a couple of cream cheese haters, this was a hit. Thanks so much for sharing this.
So glad they were a hit. Thank you for letting us know!
