It’s time again for another tasty summer time treat. What better for the summer than some nice fresh strawberries. Those are the perfect base for a dessert. With strawberries as my base I figured why not make my Strawberry Shortcake Bars! I have made these a number of times for work picnics and they have been destroyed every single time. I will say this though they almost didn’t make it out of my house lol. That great tasting short cake is the perfect texture and OMG does it just hit the sweet spot =) So go ahead guys dig in and give this one a try I know there is no way you would end up disliking it! Heck you will love it!
