Christmas is right around the corner and I have been super busy, as I am sure you have too. Between traveling, parties, shopping, decorating and the regular daily grind, I need my baking to be stress free.
Triple Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Bars are a bar with brownie cake mix base, chocolate cheesecake center and milk chocolate topping, this easy bar recipe will please any chocolate lover!
Triple Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Bars take only 10 minutes to prepare and 40 minutes in the oven to achieve a chocolate lovers nirvana.
I started by visiting Boston Street Safeway to grab a box of Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Cake Mix , Hershey’s® Milk Chocolate Nuggets and cream cheese, the rest of the items are pantry essentials.
One of things I love about my neighborhood Safeway is the cashiers always take the time to refer to me by name, granted it is a little challenging and usually not correct, but it is the thought that counts.
Anyhow, a quick trip in and out and I was on my way home to make my Triple Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Bars.
With only 7 ingredients, Triple Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Bars are easy to prepare and ready in a snap. So no matter what your busy schedule, you’ll be able to prepare a show stopping dessert.
The ease and love are baked right in when you use Betty Crocker™ and Hershey’s® for your holiday sweets and treats.

Spread cheer this holiday season and bake up an extra batch of Triple Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake Bars to share with a neighbor, family member, or friend.
I tried this and mine poofed up more than yours. It also had to cook a little longer than 10 minutes to get as dark as yours and not be jiggly in the center. Also, it seemed to me that it needed more than 8oz of cream cheese with all that egg.
Hi tross- we will go back to the kitchen and recipe test again, but we’ve never had any issues with this recipe. Thanks for the feedback!
These look like a dream! The ultimate treat for chocolate lovers!
