Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Pan: Grease a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan, ensuring that the surface is well-coated to prevent sticking.

Cool: Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. This will ensure they set properly and are easy to handle.

Prepare Frosting: In a small bowl, combine the reserved 1/3 cup of peach pie filling with powdered sugar, margarine, and butter. Beat the ingredients until smooth, creating a creamy frosting.
-
Frost Bars: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars, covering the entire surface with a luscious layer of sweetness.

Slice: Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into individual servings, creating neat squares or rectangles.
