If you are a fan of cherry cheesecake you will want to whip up these super simple Cherry Cheesecake Krispie Treat bars recipe. Perfect for an everyday dessert or for a fancy treat on your next dessert table. I told you last week I had been on a cheesecake trip when I shared our Cherry Cheesecake No Churn Ice Cream recipe. It must be something about all this cold weather having me crave sweets ha ha! Since this recipe involved cheesecake and cherries Cierra was super anxious to give these a try (she’s such a cheesecake fanatic)! The hubby and I enjoyed one each and she did allow her brothers a couple of small bars before hiding these in her secret hiding spot. They were over the top delish.

Since everyone enjoyed this recipe this will be our Valentine’s Day dessert. Inexpensive, easy and everyone will like it!
