Pure Deliciousness!
Caramel-Pecan Cheesecake Bars
I modified this recipe from the Kraft Food & Family Magazine! (The Kraft recipe called for a Nilla Wafer crust, I opted for a chocolate crust. And I cut my recipe by more than half. The original called for 4 pkg. of cream cheese, I only used one, and 1/4 everything else to go with it. It made PLENTY!! You can't eat but more than 1 or 2 of these bars. They are soooo rich! Go to the link on the right to see the original recipe if you must, but this recipe here is SO good that you don't need any other cheesecake recipe........EVER!)
This is an easy and tasty dessert!
15 min prep 5 hours (baking and refrigeration)
1 small bag of Pecan Pieces
1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers
1/4 cup melted butter
1 pkg. of Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup Sour Cream
1 tbsp. flour
2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
2 squares of baking chocolate
Caramel Ice Cream topping.
Preheat oven to 325.
Line 9x9 pan with foil, with foil extending past the pan.
Remove 1/4 of the pecans from bag and put chocolate graham crackers in a blender and blend until crumbs. Place crumbs in pan, and add the melted butter. Mix until moist then press firmly to bottom of pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Beat cream cheese and sugar in bowl. Add sour cream, flour and vanilla. Then add egg. Pour over crust. Bake for 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Then drizzle the rest of the pecans. Then drizzle the caramel topping over it. Melt the chocolate (according to label instructions.) and then drizzle chocolate over. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Use foil handles to remove cheesecake from pan before cutting into bars. Serve and ENJOY!!
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've got cheesecake in my Tummy!

THIS DOES LOOK SCRUMPTOUS! I WILL HAVE TO FIX THIS FOR THE UPCOMING HOLIDAYS. THANKS, I LOVE BAKING YUMMIES DURING THE FALL AND WINTER TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. OF COURSE I WILL HAVE TO PASS ON TESTING IT OUT PERSONALLY,
CHOCOLATE YUCK!!
Mom,
I know how you L-O-V-E chocolate, so you can make it like the original recipe, with a Nilla wafer crust, and then just drizzle the caramel and the pecans on top, and omit the chocolate. That would be pure deliciousness too! In fact, I may try it that way next time.
That does look like pure deliciousness, I can't wait to try it. Jared is very excited as well.
I am going to have to try that recipe. They look so yummy!
I must say these are pure deliciousness! I made this recipe today and we loved it. Who needs the Cheesecake Factory when you can make something yourself that tastes so good? Thanks for sharing, this is a definite keeper.
