Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • Tip 2
    The secret for cutting bars easily is to line pan with heavy-duty or nonstick foil. When it is time to cut bars, just lift by foil out of pan, and cut. This also makes cleanup extra easy.
