Hi, friends! I’m glad to be back from The Seasoned Mom with another recipe to share this month. Since it’s the season for fresh berries and cool, no-bake treats, I thought that it would be perfect to combine the two. Plus, I added a healthy dose of chocolate for good measure. Because chocolate makes everything better, right?

These simple bars only take about 10 minutes to mix together, and then you just have to be patient for a little while as they cool. That’s the hardest part of this whole recipe…the waiting!

I used a can of prepared chocolate frosting to top off these little nuggets, but you could certainly leave that off if you’re looking for a slightly less-decadent indulgence. Oh, and the sprinkles. In a house full of kids, rainbow sprinkles are a MUST.
