It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is MARBLED CHEESECAKE BARS!
Who doesn’t love cheesecake bars? Easy to make and easy to eat, this is a quick recipe for that special dessert. For parties. For BBQs. For fun anytime.
I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

Sounds delicious. And simple enough to have the grandkids pitch in and help out with it.
Absolutely! My kids loved making this one. And, of course, they’re MY children so they all love cheesecake recipes.
I love cheesecake. I love any dessert that has cream cheese in it. Throw in chocolate and I’m in heaven! This sounds soooooo good!
With you there! My husband is not a fan for cheesecake (silly man, more for me!) but all of my kids love it. I’m not much for cake so this is as close as I get to making something cake(y). Sooooo good. Great to bring to BYO parties.
Good Morning,
This is an easy, have to try recipe, for sure. Thank you for sharing and have a great weekend.
You can’t go wrong with this one, Linda. It’s a crowd pleaser! Have a great weekend yourself!
Karen,
This is my type of recipe. I might actually make them for a group! I definitely saved this recipe.
It really is a great “special” dessert to bring to parties. Have fun!
