Food Critic’s Review:
Too often enough, I find cheesecake-bars to be hard to eat, mainly because the cheesecake portion is overpowering. However, when tasting these bars, there was something special about them, considering the whole bottom portion was made of chocolate. The entire dessert was a good combination of a soft layer on top and a crunchy layer on the bottom. The bottom layer helped keep everything together, while adding chocolate and an added surprise. This is a great recipe to try if you are in the mood for both something cheesecake like and chocolate. Give this recipe a try!
