Peaches 'n Cream Bars

Teresa Ambra
Peaches 'n Cream Bars are astounding. These outrageous bars are filled with a lovely peach filling and use an old-fashioned oatmeal, pecan crust and streusel topping. They're terrific for summer holidays like Memorial Day, Father's Day or Fourth of July when peaches are in season.
