French Vanilla Dream Bars

I love dessert— in all shapes and sizes! Being raised in a pastors home, we entertained a lot and that meant getting lots of dessert. Isn’t that every kids dream? My mom was a fantastic host and always prepared a delicious meal, followed by a yummy dessert.

I guess that entertaining created a love for all things sweet, because I have quite the sweet tooth. I’m always looking for something new to try, so I recently accepted the challenge of making a recipe that included the use of flavored creamer.

A popular International Delight Creamer in my family is French Vanilla, so I thought I’d give these French Vanilla Dream Bars a try. I don’t usually use much coconut when baking, but this recipe is a perfect medley for the palate. My husband loves coconut and he flipped over these dessert bars!
