Even though it's snowing outside right now, I'm hopeful we'll see spring soon here in Minnesota! 

These Strawberry Pie Bars remind me of warmer weather and taste just like summer. This is the same base recipe as my popular Blueberry Pie Bars. This recipe is tried and true, uses basic fridge and pantry staples, a favorite of many and just as good with strawberries as it is with blueberries.

The crust is a delicious, slightly crunchy shortbread. The filling is a creamy, sweet custard with the strawberries and the crumb topping is the same as the buttery crust.

Each bite is absolute perfection and they are just as much as a favorite for us as the blueberry pie bars.

These bars are perfect for parties, picnics or a treat with your coffee or tea.
