dessert bars

Sliced pan treats

Dessert bars are baked sweets made in a pan and cut into rectangular portions—brownies, lemon bars, blondies.

The format distinguishes them from cookies (individually portioned before baking) and cakes (served in slices or whole).

A dessert bar is also an establishment or buffet station offering sweet items: The wedding had a dessert bar with mini cheesecakes and truffles.
