The end of summer is upon us and Labor Day is right around the corner. Time to get the red, white and blue out for one more summer BBQ.

We made this dessert for General Mill’s blog and thought I would share it on here since it’s the perfect dessert for Labor Day!

Two pictures of ingredients to make a strawberry icebox cake.

 It’s a frozen icebox cake that consists of a whipped cheese filling, fresh strawberries, brown sugar, and Nature Valley bar topping. I’ve always been a fan of Nature Valley bars and often eat them on the go and they make the best topping!

Foling in strawberries to a whipped bowl.

Furthermore, the bars taste even better in the recipe because they’re mixed with butter and brown sugar (ummm, yum) and then baked them, so they’re crispy.
