evenly.
Arrange the peach slices on top of the cream cheese filling, covering the entire surface.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.

Peach Variations: You can use canned or frozen peaches if fresh peaches are not available. Make sure
to drain canned peaches well or thaw and drain frozen peaches.
Graham Cracker Crust: For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the graham
