Why Peach Cobbler Bars
Several years ago my family and I took a vacation to Hilton Head, SC. It was the perfect vacation for many reasons, but aside from the beautiful weather and the soft sand, one of the best memories from that trip was a little side trip we took to Savannah, GA.
I fell in love with the quaint downtown, with its riverside cobblestone streets and historic buildings. That trip was the inspiration behind this Fried Green Tomato BLT, which is still one of my all-time favorite sandwiches.
But what I really remember about that trip was stopping at a roadside stand for peaches on the way home. Those peaches were some of the best I have ever eaten. I mean, they were plump and round and so juicy that every time you bit into your peach, juice would dribble down your chin and your arm. We must eaten a dozen peaches that day.
I hear that a peach truck from Georgia will be making a stop about an hour from home soon. I plan on getting there early and grabbing as many fresh peaches as I can! I am going to be a hoarder of peaches. But with all these peach recipes, (especially this peach cake) you can see why!
About Peach Cobbler Bars
These bars are super easy and they almost feel like a cross between blonde brownies and cake.
This recipe is not a light recipe, it does call for a cup of butter, sugar and brown sugar, consider yourselves warned!
I add peach schnapps to the batter and to the peaches for a little kick. The alcohol does burn off, nevertheless, you can easily omit the liqueur. Almond or rum extract would make great substitutions.
