If you're like me, choosing what dessert to make is no laughing matter. With so many options out there, it can be hard to decide exactly what kind of day it is, and there is no worse feeling than post-treat regret. Worry no more: these bars are EVERYTHING. These cheesecake bars are the perfect combination of chocolate chip cookies, crunchy Oreos, rich cheesecake, AND caramel. Pinch us, we must be dreaming!

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait:
While I know it's difficult, these bars are going to turn out so much better if you allow them the proper time to cool and set up in the fridge. 3 hours is the minimum resting time I would recommend, but if you have it in you, the consistency of these will be so much more satisfying the next day.
