Oreo Cheesecake Bars

I'm very behind on blogging but I've been so busy lately. I was also sick for about 3 weeks so no cooking or baking for me! But right before I was laid up, I had a little ladies night at my home for some of my coworkers and friends to come eat, drink, and hang out. We had such a nice time and everyone brought delicious treats or wine. I made my pulled bbq chicken sliders and for the first time, I made oreo cheesecake bars. I am obsessed with cheesecake but I've only tried making it a few times and each of those times it just came out "ok". This time, I wanted to do something different. I found the recipe by just googling cheesecake bars, and I came across this one from KraftFoods.com. Not only was it delicious, but it was also very easy to make. And I was really excited because I got to use my magicbullet food processor to grind up the oreos for the crust. I will definitely make this again for any future get togethers. I hope you enjoy it, too!
