If you are looking for a dessert that is kid friendly, but also delicious, this is for you!  There is also no better timing for this rainbow dessert bar than springtime!  Some of the most colorful fruits are in season in the spring!   To 'healthify' this dessert, we used plain yogurt instead of ice cream for our sundae's, as well as a variety of colorful fruits!
