Cranberry Cheesecake Bars

Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies! Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert! Always a success when you bake from Liz’s blog! Each month we bake up a recipe from each other and keep it a secret until reveal day! Super fun! Make sure you pop over to visit Liz and see which Hugs & Cookies recipe she chose this month.

This month I went with Liz’s Cranberry cheesecake bars….just like the Starbucks one but even better! These would be perfect around Thanksgiving due to the cranberry sauce, of course! The filling makes these little bars so pretty, too! I love the layers!

Thanks once again Liz for a fabulous dessert!
