Easy Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars

Update – made this for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! It was gone before I even got a chance to taste it, LOL. That’s okay, I’ll just have to make it again. My sister in law who normally doesn’t eat desserts said she had 2 pieces and my 26 year old son asked if we brought any home as leftovers. No leftovers this time! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
