Chocolate Crumble Cheesecake Bars – delicious dessert with lots of chocolate flavor and added crunch from peanuts and graham crackers.

Hi there, Leia from Eat It and Say Yum again. 🙂

Can you all believe that July is almost over, already?! This summer is FLYING by!

While I know I will miss my mornings of sleeping in and lazy days with the kids, I’m looking forward to school starting again. We have one month left before that happens, and already I am making plans for back to school shopping…

But hey, I can enjoy these last few weeks of summer, with a nice cold Chocolate Crumble Cheesecake Bar in hand.

What’s not to love about cheesecake, right? Well, let’s take some yummy cheesecake and sandwich it between some crumbly, crunchy chocolate crust. Mmm’k?

The crust is made with melted chocolate chips, butter, graham crackers, and chopped peanuts. Yum! I love all those things.

I love a good crumbly topping, and this one has a nice crunch too. Great texture going on it these bars.
