These Dulce de Leche Chocolate Cheesecake Bars will absolutely blow your mind! A rich, velvety layer of dulce de leche spread over a decadent Oreo crust, finished with a touch of flaky sea salt to create the perfect harmony of sweet and salty in every bite.

I’ve always been an admirer of Baker by Nature. Her recipes and photography are nothing short of magical. She gets it right every single time.

It’s rare for me to spotlight another blogger’s recipe, and it’s not because I don’t adore them (I absolutely do). The truth is, my brain is constantly overflowing with recipe ideas. There are so many that I can barely keep up, let alone make space for anyone else’s.

Seriously, you should see the never-ending list of recipes Cade and I have brainstormed. It’s hundreds deep, and my “finisher” personality struggles with it. Crossing off every recipe on that list would be the most satisfying thing ever. But for every one I check off, I come up with six more. The cycle never ends.

Then I came across these chocolate cheesecake bars, and I couldn’t stop thinking about them. You have to check out Baker by Nature’s stunning photos. They are pure art. But I kept imagining how perfect they’d be with a layer of dulce de leche. Once the idea hit, it became a must.

So, all my other recipes are on hold, and Cade’s are too. Grab your comfiest sweatpants, fire up Netflix, and settle in. These dulce de leche chocolate cheesecake bars are worth staying in for. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Cranberry Brownies

Rich chocolate brownies with cranberries and pecans are one of my favorite easy-to-make desserts this time of year – it is an unexpected and fun holiday flavor combination.

Served plain or topped with ice cream and hot fudge sauce, I’ve been making cranberry brownies at least a few times every holiday season for years. And without exception, everyone who has tasted them has raved over them.

Cranberry Brownies

The brownie base for this recipe has been my favorite for years. It’s a simple saucepan recipe that comes together in under 10 minutes, making it perfect for snacking any time of day.

The cranberries are a tart counterpart to the rich chocolate fudgy brownies. It’s a fun surprise flavor and they’re always a guaranteed hit on a dessert table. If you haven’t already fallen in love with the pairing of fruit and chocolate, these brownies may convince you to try it soon.

Who doesn’t love a rich, fudge brownie for a sweet snack? The cranberries that have a home in my freezer all year for the Cranberry Christmas Cake have to do double duty for these brownies now too.

Monster Cookie Bars

Full of chocolate chips, chewy oats, crunchy peanut butter, and M&M candies, Monster Cookie Bars are a fun, convenient twist on the old favorite. Monster Cookies have been my family’s favorite cookie ever since I was a child.

We use my grandmother’s monster cookies recipe and make a giant batch every year for our family’s camping trip. However, one year we simply ran out of time for our baking plans.

EASY Monster Cookie Bars (naturally gluten free) recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

I adjusted Grandma’s recipe slightly and pressed the cookie dough into the bottom of a large baking sheet. In less time than it would have taken to bake a single tray of cookies, the bars were cooling on the counter.

Easy as can be and the bars were a huge hit with everyone that tried them.

I was expecting a fun treat to snack on over the weekend, but these bars came close to trumping the original Monster Cookies.

Slightly more gooey than the cookies and still crisp on top and bottom, this is one of the best bar cookies I’ve ever tasted.

If you’re crazy for Monster Cookies like I am, try out Monster Cookie Ice Cream swirled with chunks of peanut butter and loaded with cookies. It will leave you craving just one more bite every time you make it.

You won’t find a more decadent, amazing brownie than these rich, fudge Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting. They are chocolate and peanut butter perfection.

Rich, dense, chocolate brownies topped with fluffy, whipped, peanut butter frosting, what’s not to love? These brownies are downright dangerous.

Grabbing a box of brownie mix is so easy, I get it. However, you won’t regret taking just 10 more minutes to create these fudgy bites of heaven.

I baked them to share with another family, and yet I found myself returning to the kitchen for just one more sliver all afternoon. I seriously had to stash these brownies in the freezer to prevent myself from polishing off the entire batch.

I recommend making these when you have the chance to share them with friends. They are ultra rich and perfect for small bite size pieces. I’m here to tell you that brownies with frosting trump brownies without frosting every time.

I am a huge salty/sweet fan. Nothing hits that note quite like chocolate and peanut butter together. The smooth salty creaminess of this peanut butter frosting takes these fudgy brownies over the top.
