easiest cheesecake bars
(2 RATINGS)
I have been making this for years and it is always a hit. Folks are upset with me when I don't bring it! It's great for a brunch or dessert. You can add pie filling for a variation, but my family prefers it without. Can be made ahead, too. Definitely not low cal but worth the splurge!
