Notes

These bars can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat in the oven at a low temperature for a fresh taste. For variations, try adding chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture or substituting Greek yogurt for the cream cheese.
