Delicious Orange Dessert Bars Recipe

Simple and straightforward, dessert bars make a great option for baking when you don’t want to spend time making individual cookies. Simply prepare a baking pan and add the mixed ingredients inside the pan to bake. We used blood oranges for this dessert bar giving it that lovely, rich red color.

After baking, put the dessert bar to the side to cool completely to room temperature and then add a layer of powdered sugar just before serving and cutting into individual pieces.
