Perfect Presentation Platters

Round Trays:  Antique Hardware has this set of 3 that I get so much use out of year-round.

White Serving Platters: I also love this marble tray for an amazing price!! For another all-white option, this white marble pastry board from World Market is my favorite!

Checkered Serving Boards: I used my Mackenzie-Childs check-chop board for both function and decor, which also comes in large. These are definitely investment pieces, but you can also check out a $30 version from Amazon or this version from Temu for under $25!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. Finally, I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep these in Advance?

We love these served warm, so our preference is to bake closer to serving time. They are also amazing at room temp so if you need t bake the morning or day before, go for it!

Storing Leftover Patriotic Magic Cookie Bars

Cover any leftovers with foil or Saran Wrap, where they should stay fresh for several days. You can also store them in a Ziploc Bag or Tupperware container.
