For this delectable dish, gather the following essential components:

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F. The non-stick surface of parchment paper ensures effortless food release from the 9-by-13-inch baking dish when you line it with precision.

Combine softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Combine the vanilla extract and the egg, then beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.

Combine dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, and salt—until a uniform mixture forms. Combine the chocolate chips, caramel bits, and toffee bits into the mixture.

Spread half the dough evenly across the bottom of the parchment-lined baking pan. For those with limited kitchen equipment, consider designating the remaining dough to a separate, smaller vessel, thoroughly cleaning the original mixing bowl for use in crafting the cheesecake layer.

Cream the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until well combined and silky in texture. Combine the egg and vanilla, beating the mixture until it’s velvety-smooth and utterly uniform.

Gently pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared cookie crust-lined baking dish, ensuring an even distribution of the mixture.

Gently portion out spoonfuls of the leftover cookie dough onto a surface, forming flat disks that will perfectly complement the creamy cheesecake filling as you layer them on top. Don’t worry so much about getting everything just right; imperfections are okay.

Bake for 28 to 33 minutes, or just until the bars are thoroughly cooked through and the top has a delicate, golden-brown hue. Once they have cooled down entirely, carefully lift the treats from the pan using the parchment paper.

Store sliced fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. Enjoy!

If you’re missing one of these sweet toppings, feel free to swap in the other – whether it’s toffee bits or caramel bits.
