Boston Cream Bars

Back in my days at the grocery store…..the fake and bake days, we got all of our cakes frozen in either sheets or rounds. From yellow rounds, bavarian cream, and melted chocolate icing I made Boston Cream Pies. So, when I came across this recipe for Boston Cream Pie Bars I had to try them.

Can you say yummy? They were really good. Cake mix, oil, eggs, and cream make the base.

I had little experience with custard……..I did good! At first I thought is was going to be a fail but as I stirred and stirred it came together perfectly. Tempering is the key, so follow the directions to the letter.

And what can you say about Ganache…….its chocolate, and chocolate is the sweet world is like bacon in the savory world…..its makes everything better.

Now, a couple of things about these bars
NOT low calorie
Slightly time consuming

But worth every minute! Perfect for a little dessert that is rich, creamy, and decadent!

Thank you to Spend with Pennies for such a tasty version of a classic Boston Cream Pie Bars.
