Peach Squares

Teresa Ambra
Peach Squares are the ultimate in a peach dessert. These scrumptious "Melt-in-your-mouth" brownies are filled with peaches and walnuts. Greek yogurt makes them super moist, so that they're mouthwatering and irresistible. Every bite will have you drooling. Terrific for potlucks, backyard barbecues or summer holiday fun.
