Oreo Crust, Chocolate Cheesecake, Fresh Whipped Cream, and Salted Caramel make these Cheesecake Bars extra special. Salted Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake Bars will be your next party dessert!
I cannot believe Thanksgiving is next week, like as in a week from today!! Insane!!! I've got hours and hours ahead of me of Christmas Decorating at work. We spend Thanksgiving day decorating one location and the rest of the week (before and after Thanksgiving) decorating the other location. Both pubs are OBNoXIOUSLY decorated every nook and cranny is filled with something Christmas-y I absolutely LOOOOVE IT!! Although, I am not on the waitressing floor that often now I will still make sure to wear my reindeer headpiece, snowflake earrings, holly broch, Santa broch, red and green flowers in my bun and of course my bright red apron! I like to go scream Christmas!!! It's the best time of the year!
But by the time we are done decorating at work we are so tired of decorating it takes us a few weeks to get in the mood to decorate at home.
BTW every single day I dream about all the food at Thanksgiving. CARB LIFE BABY!!! WOOO HOOOOOO I think my family is getting annoyed with me because I bring Thanksgiving up every day. I will probably make some Cream Cheese Stuffed Monkey bread on Thanksgiving to take in for all those decorating. And we have a staff meeting on Saturday morning and two of my staff members (1 my sister) said they would not be attending unless I made monkey bread of bagel bombs. So it looks like monkey bread is in my future, not a bad thing!!
I will also have cheesecake in my future, preferably this cheesecake. It only lasted a short while in my life. It was snatched up too quickly.
Funny story, I made this last Wednesday and that night I also happened to be training my sister at work. I bought the cheesecake in to share with my co-workers. My friend/co-worker Candra tried it and loved it, and she isn't a dessert person so I took that as a nice compliment. Then my sister walked by and said to Candra "Oh, is it worth eating?" because Lydia is so damn picky she wasn't even going to try the Salted Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake Bars but Candra said how delicious they were. Lydia took a bite, Lydia feels in love with these bars. And I won't lie I fell in love with them too. But how picky is my sister, she wasn't even going to try them!! SOOOO RUDE!
I hope you let Lydia's story encourage you to make the Salted Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake Bars because they really are one of my most favorite cheesecake desserts EVER! Oreo cookie crust, dreamy chocolate cheesecake, salted caramel, homemade whipped cream, and more salted caramel... baby you know you love it!!

Angie says
Maybe this is a stupid question but why use the foil? Just curious if there was a reason I am unaware of.
Elizabeth says
I think its easier for clean up and for lifting the bars out of the pan and cutting nicely.

Hi Elizabeth will this work with the tub cream cheese here in the UK, as you know we don't have block cream cheese.
