Lemon Cheesecake Bars

[Francy]

I have been looking for a simple recipe for lemon cheesecake bars. Does anyone have a good recipe for this? I have a pot luck coming up and would like to make these, but I don't want to experiment with the recipe and then feed it to a crowd of people if it's not good! Thanks in advance!

I actually used a recipe very similar to this one last week, they turned out great and were really good!

Well these kind of sound like the unhealthy version of a pretty common snack, but I cannot say that there is no room for that in my home. We all have to treat ourselves, after all, and this certainly looks like a good way of doing that. I will look more into these, and I do love some cheesecake.
