Cheesecake has a hold on many people's lives. It's a delightful dessert, but time-consuming to make or expensive to buy. Well, if you're into cheesecake, but not the time it takes to make it, try these speedy cheesecake bars.

It's as simple as pressing a standard graham cracker crust into the bottom of a pan, pouring a three ingredient filling over it and baking it for a half an hour. Since it's a thin bar recipe, it cools quickly and can be topped with any number of sweet fillings or eaten as is. It's quick, it's easy, and it’s yummy!
