Orange Creamsicle Bars

Orange Creamsicle Bars: Soft and chewy orange bars topped with fluffy cream cheese frosting: tastes just like an orange creamsicle!

In general I’m not a big fan of citrus. It is too sharp and tangy for my palette. However, when you mix orange with sweet cream, it becomes truly magical in my mind.

I’ve always enjoyed frozen orange creamsicles, but let’s be honest they’re not the most exciting dessert in the world.
