Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Bars

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Bars

Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts.  We have a restaurant here, The Cheesecake Factory, that I love to go to for dessert.  They have a ton of different varieties of cheesecake.  So many that it’s almost too hard to choose which one to order.  It’s an indulgence I don’t do too often, but when I do, I’m in heaven!

When I was looking through Pinterest for a delicious dessert recipe to make I saw this Cookies and Cream Cheesecake recipe.  Ummm… hello!!!  Yes, please!  Can you even go wrong with cheesecake AND Oreos?!?!  Heck no!

It was beyond delicious!!!  The crust?   Oreos, of course.  The cheesecake layer was creamy and amazing and packed with more Oreos.  Then top it off with a chocolate ganache and, yep, more Oreos.

I shared a few pieces with people but I’m almost (stress almost) embarrassed to say that I ate all of these amazing cheesecake bars.  A good two thirds of the pan!  Holy heck.  They were that good!
