You know those pairs that are genius and you want to kiss whoever created them on the forehead like 28 million times? You know the pairs I am talking about:
chocolate/peanut butter,
mac & cheese/peas,
wine/everything….
Meet Another:
Lemon & Blueberry.
I could eat those two little fruities together like nobodies business, so when I found this recipe for Lemon-Blueberry Crumb Bars I knew I was hook line and sinker in love.
Thankfully, they did not disappoint.
Wanna make em?
Good.
Here is the recipe:
The Fixings:
1/2 cup butter
1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
2 eggs, divided
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. zest and 3 Tbsp. juice from 1 lemon {I have no idea what zest is and didn’t want to take the time to google it, therefore there was no zest in my bars and they still were delightful. Additionally, I did not measure 3 Tbsp of lemon juice, I simply squirted the guts outta my lemon…Every last drop of it.}
2-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Creating This Wholesome Goodness:
HEAT oven to 350ºF.
Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until melted.
Add cake mix and 1 egg; beat with mixer until well blended.
Press 2/3 of the mixture onto bottom of prepared pan.
BEAT cream cheese and sugar with mixer until well blended.
Add remaining egg, zest and juice; mix well.
Pour over crust; top with berries.
