Notes

  • Softening cream cheese : Make sure your cream cheese is softened leave it out for about 30 minutes before making the frosting so it mixes smoothly without lumps .
  • Customize toppings : You can add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) on top for extra crunch if you like!
  • Don’t overbake : The bars should look set and lightly golden at the edges, but still soft in the center. They’ll firm up as they cool
  • Dairy-free option : Use dairy-free butter and cream cheese substitutes to make a dairy-free version.
