Cheer Up Your Mood With Some Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

You’re really going to enjoy these little squares of fruit cheesecake happiness. The raspberry jam is so sweet and yummy while the cheesecake is cool and creamy. it’s the perfect combination!

Check out what my pals over at The Pioneer Woman had to say about this recipe:

“I love cheesecake, but rather than go the traditional, predictable Springform pan route, I sometimes like to bake them in a rectangular pan and cut them into squares. It’s easier to cut and easier to serve, which means it’s easier to eat, which is always a plus in my book. It also makes these perfect for a potluck dinner, or any place you need to take a portable dessert!”

I always make my cheesecake bars in a 9×13 pan. There have been times where I have made traditional cheesecake ina  pie plate, but then that isn’t bars, it’s cake. Wait, what the…?
