Peach Cobbler Bars
August 04, 2011I love twitter for so many reasons. To start, I have made so many fabulous friends. I truly make new friends daily, but I always come across the latest and great information on news, health, fitness, recipes, social media and more. I was so excited when Regan Jones from The Professional Palate posted a recipe for Blueberry Cobbler Bars inspired by her grandfather. I know Regan from her days at Cooking Light and Weight Watchers magazines when I was working at Southern Living. When I saw her tweet about her recipe, I told her I must try it with peaches. Well, it worked beautifully. These Peach Cobbler Bars are not only so easy, but out of this world.

What a fun treat, making cobbler bars - blueberries and peaches sound (and look!) so good, perfect right now since these fruits are in season.

So beautiful! I've been wanting to make cobbler bars ever since I saw Joy the Baker make them. I love that these are a little lighter :)

Simple but they look out of this world tasty! I definitely need to try these on vacation next week. We'll be surrounded by fruit farms for 7 whole glorious days. Heaven! Thanks for posting.
