How to Make Choco Cherry Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate, flour, and cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 1.5 hours to allow them to set completely.
- Once chilled, cut into bars and serve. Enjoy!
