ORANGE DREAMSICLE PIE BARS RECIPE Recipes

Summer in a bite, these orange dreamsicle pie bars are packed with orange flavor from freshly squeezed orange juice and grated orange rind! Forget the orange flavored jello, these orange dreamsicle pie bars taste so much better!

I’ve been torn between naming these bars orange creamsicle pie bars or orange dreamsicle pie bars. Auto-correct lets me know creamsicle is the correct word, but doesn’t it know how dreamy these bars are?
