Candy Bar Cheesecake

Chris got me a couple of Airbake cookie sheets a few weeks ago and the sheets came with a mini cookbook.  These cheesecake bars are in that book.  These look fantastic and easy to make.  The hard part will be choosing the candy bars.  I am leaning in the direction of Special Dark from Hersheys...or Heath Bars.  If you try this recipe leave a comment and let me know what candy bar you used.

2 1/2 C. chocolate cookie crumbs
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. butter, melted
3 8oz. pkgs. cream cheese softened
3/4 C. sugar
2 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
6 regular sized candy bars, chopped

Combine cookie crumbs, 1/2 C. sugar and butter, mix well.

Press onto bottom of a jelly roll pan.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Mix cream cheese, remaining sugar, flour and vanilla with an electric mixer.  Add eggs, beating until just blended.  Pour over crust.  Sprinkle with candy.

Bake at 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until center is almost set and edges begin to brown.  Cool the pan on a wire rack.  Cut into bars.  Store in refrigerator.
