I don’t eat a lot of fruit, but in a dessert, I love fruit! We got a huge thing of blueberries from the store the other week and then we were heading to Tyler’s parents over the weekend. Since the blueberries were going to go to waste I decided to try out these Blueberry Crumb Bars and have a little dessert to take on our trip. They were delicious and we had a fun trip, the girls shopped and the boys golfed!
Blueberry Crumb Bars

These bars were so delicious. We had some left and shared them with my sister and brother-in-law and they loved them as well. My sister kept some for breakfast so they make a delicious dessert or breakfast. Do you have any favorite fruit desserts?
