This is a rich, decadent and mouthwatering dessert. Peaches 'n Cream Gooey Bars are an ooey, gooey layered bar with a crust layer, a cheesecake layer, a peach layer, and a cinnamon-sugar layer. They're dusted with powdered sugar before serving. They're the perfect summer holiday dessert especially for Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day when peaches are in season.
