Tips:

- For the creamiest cheese filling, use a high-quality cream cheese that is at room temperature. - If you want a more flavorful crust, try using a combination of graham cracker crumbs and chopped nuts. - For a tarter flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the cream cheese filling. - For a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of sugar to the cream cheese filling. - If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10-inch springform pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. - Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart. - Store the bars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
