Ingredients

• For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup M&M candies (pink or your favorite color)
  • 1 cup whipped cream
• For Decoration:
  • Additional M&M candies for decoration

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended and lump-free.
4. Add the Caramel and M&Ms: Gently fold in the caramel sauce and M&M candies into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula for an even finish.
6. Chill: Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is firm and set.
7. Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Spread the whipped cream generously over the top, and decorate with additional M&M candies for a pop of color.
8. Slice and Enjoy: Cut into squares or bars, serve chilled, and enjoy the delicious flavors of your no-bake cheesecake bars!
