I came across the recipe for these easy cookies & cream bars on the eve of my roommate’s birthday after I had promised her a homemade dessert. With no oven in my dorm and a limited selection of goods available at the local convenience store, I was left scrounging for something that fit under the umbrella of homemade, but required next-to-no effort.
These bars were the solution to my hindering circumstances. They are super simple, only require three ingredients, and are a perfect last-minute treat for forgotten birthdays.
