Mocha Chip Cheesecake Bars
These decadent, portable cheesecake treats are simply heavenly. The intense blend of chocolaty mocha and cream cheese is so rich and delicious you wouldn’t be wrong thinking they’d make a great Valentine’s Day treat. Only, when something tastes this luxurious, it would be a shame to make them only once a year.
