Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well blended. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Gently scatter the blueberries and raspberries across the top, pressing them in slightly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and slice into squares. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy a festive treat that’s perfect for any Independence Day gathering!
