I made these for my DS as part of a take-home pac, I only tasted a small piece and I am giving it my 5 stars, I like the way the crust baked out, it was not hard and brittle as some crusts become after baking, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:)

Absolutely wonderful! Tasted just like cheesecake but without all the hassle. I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious, my BF (who loves cheesecake) said it was the best dessert he's ever had. Next time I will try it topped with chopped Reeses PB Cups or perhaps Reeses Pieces and see if I can get it up to 6 stars. :) One caution, we got so excited that we tried to eat them after only an hour of fridge time, and they were good, but the next day they were MUCH better. Let them cool as long as you can stand it, they are worth the wait!

This was delicious. Everyone loved this easy to make bars. I topped my bars with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (chopped) like another reviewer. Also, I baked in a Pam-sprayed aluminium lined dish for easy clean up. Thank you for this recipe.
