Description

Or in other words “Insane Cake/Bars”. I couldn’t decide what cake to bake for my husband’s birthday so I put all of his favorites in one. Result: amazing bars with creamy, crunchy, sweet layers.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CRUST:
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • FOR THE PECAN PIE LAYER
  • 1 cup Chopped Pecans
  • ½ cups White Sugar
  • ½ cups Corn Syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter, Melted
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE CHEESECAKE LAYER:
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese (reduced Fat)
  • ¼ cups White Sugar
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE ASSEMBLY:
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter Chips

Preparation

For the crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch brownie pan with cooking spray and layer the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

In a medium-sized bowl bring together all of the crust ingredients and mix with your fingertips until it’s all crumbly. Set 1/2 cup of the crumbles aside. Press the remaining crumbles into your brownie pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile prepare the other layers:
In a medium bowl bring together all of the pecan pie ingredients and stir until well combined. Set aside.

In another medium bowl bring together all of the cheesecake ingredients and mix with an electric mixer until well combined. Set aside.

Mix the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon (from the assembly section) into the crumbles that you set aside earlier.

Bringing the bars together:
After pre-baking your crust sprinkle chocolate and peanut butter chips over the bottom. Spread cream cheese mixture over it. Top with pecan pie mixture. Sprinkle the remaining crumbles on top.

Bake for another 35 minutes. Then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.

I always hate it when a recipe doesn’t turn out like you thought it would. I had high hopes that this bar would be rich, chewy and over the top. Unfortunately, it was TOO much. There were too many tastes all together and you never could get a good feel for what you were eating. Very disappointing. I even took the bars to my office and let my co-workers try them and they didn’t like them either. Sorry – hate to give a bad review, but I cannot recommend these. :(
