Strawberry Passover Bars
by Maura Seebeck of the Early Childhood Centers
Looking for a fun and delicious cooking activity with the kids for Passover next week? These awesome Passover bars remind me of a breakfast bar, but they are wonderful for dessert or an afternoon snack. (I’m sure I’m not the only one with quarantined kids looking to snack all day long!) You could also use apricot or raspberry preserves as a variation if you like. Enjoy!
