Chocolate and Cheesecake – there is no way to go wrong in combining these two flavors. They play so nicely together. The chunks of bittersweet chocolate in these are just sublime though and really bring the combination to another level. We better hurry – these have to cool off before you can eat them!
Melt
4 ounces butter
Stir in
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
Then mix in
1 egg
Mix in
2/3 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teapsoon salt
Spread in a greased 10 in square baking dish. An 8 inch pan will work if that is what you have – they will just be a little thicker and that is not such a bad thing.
Then for the topping, beat together
8 ounces softened cream cheese
2 room temperature large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Fold in
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chocolate crust.
Bake at 350ยบ for about 35 minutes, until the cheesecake layer is set, puffed a bit and showing a little touch of browning across the top. If you used an 8 inch pan, this will take a few minutes longer.
Cool completely before cutting into 2 inch squares.
Break one open and dive right in! The bittersweet chocolate stays gooey and melty in there for a couple days at room temperature. They probably won’t be around any longer than that, but if they are, best get them in fridge at that point.
Sorry – I have to run. It’s time for breakfast!
Again I am SO glad I had breakfast before visiting! Woman if I baked .. if we had a functioning stove .. really no stove now for 2 months .. gawd bless ConEd and the NYC inspectors for their snail-likedness
Thank GOD I can’t gain weight from looking at delicious temptations! That’s 5 pounds right there.
They look simply delicious, Ms. D!
You’re killing me! Two of the best flavors blended!

wow, i’m definitely trying these!
Good morning!
I made these bars for my husband and son. They adore cheesecake and I was looking
for something easy to make for them. I love to bake and keep treats around for my boys.
These are delicious! I couldn’t wait for them to cool down and try them!
Thanks for the recipe

So glad to hear it Stacy – and thanks a bunch for coming back to tell me!
My daughter also wanted me to tell you that these are the “best things ever” I didn’t realize that she would love them as much as the rest of the brood!
Have a great day
