It’s late and when I first wrote the title of this post I wrote, “Peach Melba Bras”. Bras. Bras, bars, bras, bars. It gets confusing when you’re tired. But I have no choice, I must get these Peach Melba Bars into a post immediately. They’re just too good to not share. We are big, huge, gargantuan fans of graham cracker crust over here. Especially me. I honestly love it so much that I’ll purposefully dump a little extra of everything so I can nibble on the excess. I do it with our favorite blackberry lime bars, raspberry lemon bars, and key lime bars. It’s just plain delicious.
Anyway, we clearly aren’t talking bras here, and thank goodness for that because who knows if I’m even wearing the right size. I definitely hate taking the time to go get measured. Ok, getting off track again. So, years ago we lived in Vegas for a summer. Well, Henderson but that’s pretty much Vegas since they are so close. It was the hottest summer of our entire lives. It was also a summer of really, really delicious food. Like, fo’ real. Our friends taught us how to make these killer buttery, cheesy potato bites, we perfected our fried chicken, and we ate a lot of grilled peaches with raspberry sauce. Oh. My. Sweet. Deliciousness.
And then we moved to Utah, a state that has delicious peaches, and somehow I totally forgot about peach melbas. I know, it’s shocking that anyone could forget that, but I think all of that crazy heat did us in. Really. I’ve never lived anywhere so hot and it was dusty and windy too! At night we would go to bed at midnight and it would still be 104 out. Good mercy. We literally lived at the pool. Ok, that part wasn’t so bad. But, the heat really did get old and I think we must have lost a few brain cells. This summer I finally remembered that divine dessert and I quickly whipped up a creamy dessert that would make anyone swoon.
