Oh my goodness, ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about this absolutely divine dessert that’s been making everyone in my household go crazy! I’m talking about my signature Triple Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake Bars that are literally to die for. Trust me, once you make these, your family will be begging for more!
As someone who’s always experimenting in the kitchen (much to my husband’s delight), I’ve perfected this recipe after countless attempts. And let me tell you, the end result is pure heaven in your mouth!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 packages of Oreo cookies (because one is never enough, right?)
– 6 tablespoons melted butter
– 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce
– 1/2 cup milk chocolate, chopped
– Sea salt for sprinkling
Now, let’s get our hands dirty!
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 325°F. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper (trust me, you’ll thank me later).
1. Crush those Oreos into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into your prepared pan. Pop it in the fridge while we work on the filling.

1. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
1. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
1. Pour this heavenly mixture over your Oreo crust. Drizzle with caramel sauce and use a knife to create swirls (get creative, honey!).
1. Sprinkle with chopped milk chocolate and a pinch of sea salt.
1. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is almost set. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (I know it’s hard to wait, but patience is a virtue!).
Y’all, when I tell you these bars are addictive, I mean it! They’re rich, decadent, and perfect for any occasion – or no occasion at all, because who needs one?
