EASY CHOCOLATE CHERRY CHEESECAKE BARS
I’m so making these ones, they look gorgeous and I have a few blocks of cream cheese in my freezer looking for a home. This is one of quite a few of recipes that I’ve made. It’s delicious, but I used only two teaspoons of vanilla extract instead of two tablespoons as indicated in your recipe, as well as a wee bit of almond extract to enhance the flavour of the cherries. It was a big hit.
