Easy Cherry Cheesecake Bars
Not only do these cherry cheesecake bars taste amazing, but they are also super easy to make. This recipe makes about 18 to 24 bars depending on how large you cut them. So it makes for a great dessert recipe to bring to a get-together.
This is made using a box cake mix and a few other ingredients. For the cake mix, you can either use a cherry chip cake mix or a funfetti mix. Either will work just fine.

How To Store:
Because these are made with cream cheese, they should be store in an airtight container in the fridge.
While I have not tested freezing these yet, I do think they would be fine to freeze and then just thaw out before serving.
How To Make These Bars:
Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees.
Next, get a 9×13 glass dish ready by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, add the dry cake mix and butter. Mix until it is well blended and kinda looks like wet sand. Scoop one cup of the mixture and set aside.
Dump the rest of the mixture into the bottom of the greased dish. Pack it down firmly in an even layer with your hands or the back of a measuring cup.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the frosting and cream cheese mix until smooth and fully mixed.
Then add the eggs to the frosting mixture and mix until fully mixed.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust in the dish.
Use the remaining cake mixture to sprinkle over the top of the cheesecake bars.
Place in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the middle is set and not wiggly.
Remove from the oven and put the dish on a cooling rack. Allow to cool to room temperature.
When cooled, cover the dish and put in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours to overnight.
