You guys, get your ovens started. You’ve got some baking to do.
These Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars are easy to make and even easier to eat. They’re kind of like a blondie meets kolach meets coffee cake, but with some blueberries and cream cheese to round it all out. And they’re positively heavenly (if we do say so ourselves).
The base is chewy and sweet and just lightly flavored with vanilla, while the topping is bursting with pops of fresh blueberries accented by a sweet cream cheese streusel. Sometimes a combination just works and this is definitely one of those times. Those three elements play off each other so well… almost too well; these bars are irresistible.
They’re the perfect dessert to bring to a party or a bake sale, because they’re a little bit different than your standard cookie or cupcake. At the same time, they’re at home enough in the morning that we wouldn’t feel bad eating them for breakfast (and you shouldn’t either). They’re like the perfect black dress that you can dress up or dress down. They work anywhere, they always fit in, and my oh my, are they delicious.
