DIABETIC PEACH BARS

I love peaches so when I saw a Peach Bars Recipe on Pinterest I knew I had to make myself a diabetic version. It is delicious and my family was surprised that it had no added sugar. If you like peaches, give this a try.

1 box (2-layer size) yellow sugar-free cake mix

1/3 cup butter, softened

2 large eggs, divided

1 can (29-oz) peaches in light syrup, drained*

1 (8-oz) fat-free cream cheese

1/3 cup Splenda granulated

1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, butter, and 1 of the eggs by mixing with a fork until crumbly. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs and set aside. Press the remaining crumb mixture onto the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

While crust bakes, drain peaches into a colander, rinse with cold water, and drain well. *(May use fresh peaches, peeled and cut-up; no rinsing necessary!) Cut peaches into bite-size pieces and place over the baked crust.

Combine the cream cheese, Splenda, and vanilla extract in mixer bowl; beat until creamy. Spread over the peaches; sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over the top.

Bake 30-35 until lightly browned. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before serving.

This is delicious served warm with a dollop of sugar-free whipped topping or ice cream.
