Drop everything and make Hawaiian cheesecake slabs as fast as you can, but be careful, you’ll have to make sure you have people to share with or you’ll eat the whole pan. Guys, I’m not even kidding.
These are my new favorite bars and I absolutely love them. These will be on the Easter dessert table every year! I’m also thinking of making it for Christmas.
Guys, if you like pineapple and coconut, just make these squares. Oh oh and shortbread! These squares also have a decadent base of sweet shortbread.
Forget cheesecake, forget all the other bars, these squares are the love child of both and they have their best features! I wasn’t exaggerating when I said this was my new favorite bar – this is now my favorite cream cheese candy bar when I need something for my own parties or to take with me.
It’s a crowd pleaser and you’ll have people begging you for the recipe, so be sure to tell them! Or you know, pretend it’s a secret family recipe, I won’t tell anyone.
