They’re tasty but kind of plain as the other reviewers stated. Not sure I would make this recipe again. Maybe toast the pecans before chopping and maybe some more sugar???
Melissa Conley

Isaac Rush
This is delicious! One of the best cheesecake recipes I’ve ever made. great consistency and pretty simple to make. My husband took some to work with him and the guys keep asking when I’m making it again! Huge hit & now a favorite for my family.
Christine Cohen
I’ve made this amazing cheesecake recipe for my family time and time again, and they love it!! Thank you for sharing! I can’t even go back to store-bought cheesecake now 🙂
Amanda King
I have made these bars, without making any changes, several times for different gathering. They’re always a BIG hit & the first dessert to go!

-I doubled the amount of butter because 1/4 cup wasn’t enough to make the crust. -Used Splenda instead of sugar -Used 4 packages of cream cheese, but the only ones I could find were 229 grams instead of 250 grams. -Didn’t use any foil because we were out. I really liked these, and my friends and coworkers loved them. The graham cracker crust wasn’t at all sweet, but the cheesecake was plenty sweet on its own. It had a nice creamy, decently light texture, which I think is important for cheesecake. No heavy Cheesecake Factory tuff here. I did think that the Splenda made things a little overly sweet, so I’d probably just do regular sugar next time.

I made this twice now. It’s delightful! My sisters loved them and I couldn’t stop eating them either. Sooo delicious thank you for the amazing recipes! Finally I can stop buying expensive store cheesecake!

Added a little salt to finished recipe. Took to church social, but they didn’t go over well. My husband and I njoyed them very much! True cheesecake flavor and not super sweet.
Andrea Boyd
So good 🙂

I only had three boxes of regular cream cheese, so I added 8oz of honey nut cream cheese to substitute. It worked great! They came out well. Thanks for the recipe!
Valerie Simmons
everyone has loved it!!

Delicious! Used the Caramel Sauce from Trader Joe’s. It was really good.
Anthony Goodman
This was my first attempt at homemade cheesecake I was a little afraid to try it but after reading the reviews I decided to go for it and am glad I did. I baked mine 15 min longer than called for and it came out perfect. Bunco girls could not get enough of it. My Mom did not care for it but she likes things that are sweet which this cake is not. It is perfect melt in your mouth subtle rich.
Amanda Hayes
Awesome cheesecake was a big success at the Christmas outing this it is a keeper we added crushed chocolate to the top of it as well. Had no problems halving the recipe turn just as good.
Jeremiah Sandoval
This is really delicious! I thought it was really hard to serve/cut off of the foil. I think I would either use parchment paper or nothing the next time I make it. But it is really good!

3 days later and I’m STILL getting people RAVING about these – no joke. I accidentally deleted the photos I took, but I chose to swirl the homemade caramel sauce into the bars. This resulted in some minor “cracking” at the edges from the caramel swirls but what it did for the flavor certainly made up for it! I chose to use all cracker crumbs instead of pecans. These were very substantial–a thicker than normal cheesecake portion–which made for an even prettier bar! YUM! Crowd-pleaser!
Stephen Bullock
I halved this recipe and was disappointed with the thickness of the bars. I also thought that these were just ok, not really the cheesecake flavor I was seeking. The recipe was saved for me because I used crushed homemade pnut butter cookies for the crust and after tasting the mediocre filling, I topped it with strawberry jam and fresh whipped cream.
Jessica Lee
These are quite tasty and easy to make.
Alan Cooper
This got rave reviews! Awesome texture and taste. Use MRs. Richardson’s caramel sauce perfect!
Mrs. Sabrina Walker
