This very easy-to-make dessert is synonymous with warm relaxing summer days. Strawberries and cream is a classic recipe in the world of sweets, but this time we’re using Nature Valley™ bars to create a dessert that is delicious and nutritious. The strawberries should be very fresh. You can cut them or leave them whole, if they’re not too big. As for the tartlets, you can make them in the normal size or smaller to create a mini or bite-size dessert. They will look really pretty on the table and everyone will love them. The great thing about this recipe is that you don’t need to use the oven, and that’s always a plus whenever the weather is so hot. You only need to freeze the base for the tartlets so they won’t fall apart when you assemble the dessert. Your family will love you a little more for making this dessert.
