For some reason I had quite a bit of cream cheese in the fridge so I went on Pinterest and found a great pin that eventually led me to a recipe by “52 Ways to Cook” for Pineapple Cream Cheese Bars. I changed the recipe slightly because if I open a can of pineapple and use a little bit, I put the rest in the refrigerator and forget about it. Then it has to go in the trash so I wanted to be able to use up the entire can. These bars are creamy and a bit tangy with the pineapple and cream cheese. It’s a simple recipe that uses a commercially made cake mix. 🙂 Enjoy!
