Sometimes you just have to have a refreshing dessert.  As part of my job as an R&D Consulting Chef for ACH Food Companies, I get to “inventorize” (new word) recipes made with our products.  This truly is one of my favorites, next month’s is another.  I hope you enjoy these bars as much as we all did testing and tasting them.  Quick, easy and just delicious!  This would make a very refreshing dessert for your Easter Sunday Dinner.

This wonderful product is available at Sam’s Clubs and soon to be in a Walmart near you!

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium mixing bowl, blend together softened butter and yogurt. Add lemon poppyseed mix and continuing mixing until combined.

Press mix into an ungreased 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm and golden.
