Ingredient Breakdown
Graham Cracker Crust
For the base of your cheesecake bars, you will need 1.5 cups of crushed graham crackers. This provides a buttery flavor and crunchy texture. Combine it with 0.5 cups of melted unsalted butter for richness.
Cream Cheese
You will need two packages (16 oz total) of softened cream cheese. This ingredient forms the main body of your cheesecake filling and gives it that smooth and rich consistency.
Sugar
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to sweeten the cream cheese mixture. This balances the rich flavors and ensures your cheesecake bars taste delightful without being overly sweet.
Eggs
Incorporate three large eggs into your mixture. The eggs help bind everything together while giving the bars a light and fluffy texture when baked.
Vanilla Extract
One teaspoon of pure vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile of the cheesecake filling. It adds depth and complements the sweetness from the sugar.
Heavy Cream
Use half a cup of heavy cream to achieve that creamy texture in your cheesecake layer. This ingredient also helps create a luscious mouthfeel.
Butterfinger Candy Bars
You will need two full-sized Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 oz each) chopped into small pieces. These chunks add crunchiness and that signature peanut butter flavor throughout your cheesecake bars.
