These Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are a sweet way to celebrate any special occasion.
The SECOND time was when I made the decadent salted caramel cheesecake bars! I do not even think there are words to describe how wonderful they are. You have got the salty twinge of the fleur de sel paired with the sweet caramel and tangy cream cheese filling…. YOU GUYS… I just drooled on my keyboard. Lets pause here for a minute while I search my pantry and hope to find some caramel sauce sitting around….
Ok. Unpause. I was disappointed. No caramel sauce but I did find one lone strawberry cheesecake bar in the fridge. Mission accomplished! I have managed to stuff my mouth full of sugary goodness. I really have been sticking with a red velvet theme for Valentines day this year but wanted to break away for a second and bring you a different red option. Strawberries are an easy and sweet way to add some festive color to any of your desserts. This recipe takes only 30 minutes to make and leaves you with one of my families favorite treats. Make sure you put this recipe on your list and give it a try.
