½ cup white sugar

'SO THIS IS WHAT HEAVEN TASTES LIKE!' CREAM CHEESE BARS



'So This Is What Heaven Tastes Like!' Cream Cheese Bars image

This recipe was my absolute favorite sweet treat growing up, and still is! This was my great-grandma's recipe and is NOT for those watching their figure! The result is a very rich, very tasty bar cookie. The nuts and cherries are both optional, but give great variations to this recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups margarine, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup well-drained chopped maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Beat the margarine, cream cheese, and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the margarine mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Mix in the flour, salt, chocolate chips, and walnuts until just incorporated. Fold in the maraschino cherries; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out nearly clean, about 25 minutes. Watch closely - the finished bars will be very pale in color. Remove from oven immediately if the sides begin to pull away from the pan. Cool pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

CREAM CHEESE BARS



Cream Cheese Bars image

This is one of my children's favorites. They eat them up when I make them as they are very addictive. You just can't eat one. I cut them in small pieces also as I like to give them as gifts around Christmas time. My friends must love them also because I get requests all the time to make these delicious little treats. Enjoy!
