Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars

Dessert

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I kind of have a problem. I’m obsessed with cheesecake. Any other cheesecake fans here? My mom has made it as my birthday cake for as long as I can remember. It’s delicious! Want to know what else is delicious? Dulce de leche. And when you combine these two things in these dulce de leche cheese cake bars, it’s absolute heaven. No, I’m serious. These things are a real slice of heaven, right in your mouth. I loved everything, even down to the chocolate on top. And I don’t even like chocolate! It’s rich, creamy, delightful and you’ll love it.

My friend, Whitney, brought these dulce de leche cheesecake bars over for a dinner get-together one night and I have nothing more to say about them than they’re absolutely delicious and will make you crave them for the rest of your life. {Not that I know what that’s like. *Ahem*}
