Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, then eggs one at a time until fully blended.
  4. Add Flour and Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in flour and fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  5. Pour and Spread the Filling: Pour filling over the crust and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake the Bars: Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly wobbly.
  7. Cool and Refrigerate: Let cool completely at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  8. Slice and Serve: Remove bars from the pan using parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.
