Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
4. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler, then fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and slightly firm to the touch.
7. Allow the bars to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled and set.
8. Once chilled, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the chocolate cheesecake layer.
9. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
