Layered Cheesecake Bars

Layered Cheesecake Bars

These layered cheesecake bars not only make a beautiful presentation but they also taste amazing. All of you Nutella lovers are going to love this one. The cheesecake is actually easier than it looks because it is only one batter. The trick comes when you add Nutella to a portion of the batter. I used a graham cracker crust for my bars but you could also crush up oreos and make an Oreo crust! That would also be fabulous. You can top your bars with hot fudge, chocolate sauce, chopped nuts or even whipped cream. Feeling less fancy? Keep them plain and straight forward!
