How to Make Reese’s Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars:

2. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Reese’s peanut butter cups and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
   • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
   • Fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars until evenly distributed.
4. Assemble the Bars:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
   • Sprinkle the crushed Reese’s peanut butter cups and Butterfinger candy bars over the top.
5. Bake the Cheesecake Bars:
   • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
   • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.

Tips:

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother filling.
• Cooling Time: Let the bars cool completely before refrigerating to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
