Just looking over this recipe again is making me want to go whip these up! These Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars are the perfect thing if you are a cheesecake lover and especially if you want a cheesecake tasting food but don't have the time to make an actual cheesecake.
In my opinion, they are probably about the best bar I've ever eaten...and oh so moreish! When I serve them, even picky people come back for seconds. Oh and I really wish I had a picture of them; they look really amazing too.
