8ozcream cheesesoftened
1/4cupgranulated sugar
1largeegg
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar cookie dough with 1/2 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Take about two-thirds of the cookie dough mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan to create an even cookie crust.
In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over the pressed cookie dough, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Crumble the remaining sugar cookie dough over the cheesecake layer in small, scattered dollops.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal evenly across the top for a bright, crunchy finish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let them set.
Slice into bars and enjoy. (Pro tip: Use a hot, sharp knife for neat slices!)
Notes
Store leftovers tightly covered to keep the cereal topping crisp. These bars can also be frozen for up to two months.
