Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

I’m not sure why, but I have been on such a cheesecake kick recently. This week I made these intense chocolate cheesecake bars, last week it was nilla wafer cheesecake pie and last month I made raspberry cheesecake bites. It’s only a matter of time until I turn into cheesecake.

But of the three I just mentioned, the chocolate cheesecake may be my favorite. It is rich, smooth and most importantly chocolatey. I just can’t resist chocolate.

When this dessert was baking in the oven, the most heavenly chocolate aromas filled my kitchen. Every bite delivers the most intense chocolate flavor. The fluffy yet thick cheesecake melts away in your mouth, while the Oreo crust gives its own irresistible flavor.

The lucky ones who tasted these chocolate cheesecake bars could barely finish their first bite before sending their compliments to the chef. This dessert is that good.
