What makes our cherry pie bars so amazing is that they are made with Lucky Leaf Premium Cherry Fruit Filling. If you haven’t had Lucky Leaf filling, you’re missing out! Fruit fillings are great for making not only pies but a variety of desserts. They also make great dessert toppings for desserts too.

Our cherry pie bars are soft, buttery, and not overly sweet. The cherry filling has the perfect amount of sweetness and it’s not overwhelming at all. The shortbread crust has flavors of orange and cloves, which pair well with cherries. Serve these bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Bake for another 25 minutes. Note, that baking times vary. If you need an extra 5 minutes then that’s okay! You need to be able to check and tell when your bars are finished.

The top of the bars will have a slight, golden brown color and that’s when you know they’re done.

To make the glaze, whip all of the ingredients together in an electric mixer until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the cherry bars. 

Add a few more cherries, from the filling, over the bars to add a festive and delicious topping.
