Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish for the perfect pineapple dessert.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this buttery crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

3. Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together the drained crushed pineapple, sour cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.

5. Pour the pineapple mixture over the baked crust. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.

6. Cool completely in the dish on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.

7. Cut into bars and enjoy your Pineapple Bliss Bars— a delightful tropical treat with the perfect balance of tangy pineapple and creamy filling.

Notes:

– For an extra tropical twist, consider adding a touch of coconut to the crust or topping.
– These pineapple dessert bars are perfect for any occasion, offering a taste of summer all year round
