This Holiday Breakfast Scone Cobbler Is the Best Way to Start Your Day. Bar None.

When you make food in bar form, you unleash its awesome power, we're told.

Last minute shopping, decorations, wrapping presents, setting up the guest room for your in-laws. There are so many things to do this holiday season that it can be difficult to make time for the most important meal of the day. What you need is a holiday breakfast that makes feeding the family easy like Sunday morning. What you need are breakfast cobbler bars.

These bars have a base of Wolferman's scones and a layer of fresh fruit covered by delightfully crumbly scones. For my fresh fruit, I chose cranberries and Granny Smith apples because of their tart flavor and great texture. This is my favorite flavor combination for these bars, but other holiday flavors like pears, persimmons, or even citrus are delicious too.

For the crumble, I used Wolferman's strawberry and currant scones. They're my favorite, but the wild blueberry and citrus cranberry scones are a very close second. Your favorite packaged scone mix makes a quick and easy cobbler topping for these bars. Simply add a bit of vanilla and chopped pecans for an amazing crunch. Layer your fruit on top of your crumbled scones followed by your scone mix and pop it in the oven.

Once your bars have cooled, dust them with a bit of festive powdered sugar and cut and serve. They pair great with Wolferman's preserves like blueberry or strawberry.
