Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

How to Make Nutella Cheesecake Bars:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Pour cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of Nutella onto the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl Nutella into the filling for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
- Lift out the cheesecake using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars before serving.
