Chocolate-Covered OREO Cheesecake Bars

After buying a big box of OREOs from a local warehouse store to make some treats, I found myself with lots of OREOs on hand still.  So I decided to make these OREO Cheesecake Bars based on this recipe from Brown Eyed Baker.  The only big difference is that I dipped the bars in chocolate to make them that much more indulgent.

Whether you dip them in chocolate or not, the OREO Cheesecake Bars are sooooo yummy!

  • 2 c chocolate chips
  • 1 T flavorless coconut oil or Crisco
