If you are a cheesecake fan, you will love these creamy, crunchy coconut cheesecake bars.

The coconut and chocolate make a great combo and by incorporating the two into a cheesecake bar, well, it’s just an amazing dessert.  

They are always a big hit around my home. A bonus is, they are pretty much guilt free with not too much fat or calories per serving. So have one and savor every bite.
