Decadent Layers of Delight: Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Bars Unveiled

Learn how to make delicious Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Bars. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

Feel free to swap the chocolate graham cracker crumbs for regular ones if that’s what you have on hand. And if you’re in the mood for a bit of nuttiness, try adding a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the crust.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
  3. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  6. In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips with the tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom, then fold them into the cheesecake batter.
  7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the caramel into the batter.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  10. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.
