Join Fresh Dish Foodie, Whitney, as she whips up these rich and decadent bars that are so simple to make - no baking required!
Lining and spraying your dish will make for easy removal of your bars after they’ve chilled. After removing your bars from the freezer, let them stand at room temperature for ten minutes for easy cutting. Slice these up into bars big or small!
