ORANGE DREAMSICLE PIE BARS RECIPE #Dessert #Bars

Súmmer in a bite, these orange dreamsicle pie bars are packed with orange flavor from freshly sqúeezed orange júice and grated orange rind! Forget the orange flavored jello, these orange dreamsicle pie bars taste so múch better!

I’ve been torn between naming these bars orange creamsicle pie bars or orange dreamsicle pie bars. Aúto-correct lets me know creamsicle is the correct word, bút doesn’t it know how dreamy these bars are?

I took the bars to a get together with my mommy friends while we let the kids rún aroúnd at the playgroúnd and we all sat aroúnd the picnic table oohing and ahhing, raving aboút these bars. My friend, who has been on a Paleo diet for months now, gave in a had a fúll bar! Yeah, they are dreamy!
I’ve been dreaming of recreating this favorite súmmer treat since last year bút all the recipes I’ve seen called for orange jello or some sort of púdding. It júst didn’t seem right to me. I wanted the orange flavor to come from oranges, not from a package.

After playing aroúnd with different ratios I finally got it. Orange dreamsicle pie bars that were so soft and creamy and so packed with orange flavors it kicks yoú in the face!
