This is a very simple cheesecake bar, I use only 1 block of cream cheese for the filling. I think that this is enough to satisfy my craving for cheesecake without overwhelming myself.
I find that the proportion of crust to filling is just right for this cheesecake bars; it taste rich and the addition of salted caramel sauce makes it more decadent.
It may not look it, but trust me, it is and watch out you may not notice that you are eating more of it than you should. 🙂
