My boys love this delicious dessert recipe because it’s a combination of brownie meets pudding meets fudge. Every texture is loaded with chocolate flavoring – and every bite is so good!

I can even recruit them to help in the kitchen when it comes to making this simple recipe. They don’t mind because they know that they’ll get to eat the first bite.

Use this recipe to make a fun treat for a birthday party or weekend snacking at home. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is – and how much flavor it has!

What is the easiest way to cut dessert bars?

The easiest way might surprise you when it comes to slicing up dessert bars. Forget about using a regular knife that sticks to the sticky edges and leaves uneven slices.

Instead, reach for a piece of floss or dental floss. A simple strum of floss across the top of your dessert bars will give you perfectly sliced pieces without sticking to the treat.

You don’t have to worry about the dreaded “sawing” motion that can ruin even the best of bars.

With this handy trick, your dessert bars will be cut and ready to serve quickly.
