Birthday Cheesecake Bars

I am blessed with a wonderful student worker & her birthday's this week so I wanted to sprinkle a little celebration into our workspace with one of her favorite things- cheesecake. So I put on my thinking baking cap & made these bars. They traveled far easier than an actual cheesecake but retained the flavor & the fun! Happy happy birthday, Rachel!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9" pan.

In a medium bowl, mix the graham crumbs, butter & sugar well. Pack it leveled, into the bottom of the baking pan.

Using a mixer, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla & eggs (one at a time) until smooth & fluffy. Pour onto the graham cracker base & level.
