Cheesecake Bars
Years ago, I entered these bars in a contest and won first place! Best of all, you can make them a day or two in advance. Or top individual bars with cherry pie filling for Christmas color.

Wonderful easy and delicious recipe. Great dessert for Easter or any other holiday!!
I made this recipe last Christmas and it was good. The crust was different with the walnuts in it - didn't get soggy like graham crackers do. The filling was good - not as light as a traditional cheesecake, but still nice, and much easier to make and manage than the springform pan.Unfortunately there were only the two of us here when I made it, so I ended up throwing some away. This year I will make an 8x8 pan and halve the ingredients.
