Raise the Bar: Sweet Treats for School Days
Back-to-school season calls for snacks that can keep up with busy schedules. Homemade bars are easy to make, simple to portion and just as handy tucked into a lunchbox as they are waiting at home for an after-school treat. Bake a batch for the week ahead and make school-day snacking a little sweeter!
Oatmeal Cream Pie Bars
Our recipe for Oatmeal Cream Pie Bars puts a fun spin on a nostalgic favorite. With soft, chewy oatmeal layers and a rich, creamy filling, they're every bit as delicious as the classic. Slice them up for lunchboxes, afternoon snacks or whenever the school-day sweet tooth strikes.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars
Few combinations say "lunchbox" quite like PB&J. Our Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars recipe brings the classic duo together in a sweet, satisfying bar that's just as welcome after the final bell as it is at lunchtime. Make them with your favorite jam or preserves for a familiar flavor everyone can look forward to.
Cranberry Bars
Bright and fruity, these Cranberry Bars layer tart cranberries between a buttery crust and crumbly topping. They're surprisingly simple to make, with a cranberry filling that requires no cooking before baking. Tuck one into a lunchbox or have one waiting after school for a sweet-tart treat worth looking forward to.
