My husband and oldest son LOVE peaches. Peach pie, peach cobbler, peach shortcake, or just a big juicy peach in their hands. So when my friend Beth shared this recipe for peach bars, I knew I had to try them! They were delicious AND pretty, and my peach-lovers each gave them two thumbs up! The recipe calls for canned peaches, which means you can make these tasty treats even when peaches are out of season. If you do have fresh peaches available, they would be even better! I would recommend slicing them, sprinkling with a little sugar, and letting them sit until juicy before using in the bars. Made with a cake mix and canned peaches, I created this original recipe out of what I happened to have on hand back in 2010. To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:
