Cheesecake bars

I need to post this recipe so I don't forget it! I make a cheesecake pie recipe and this is adapted from that to make a larger recipe that works well for baby showers and such!

Crust:
3 cups crushed graham crackers
1 and 1/2 sticks of butter, melted
6 T. Brown sugar

Mix all together and press into a cookie sheet. I use a metal measuring cup to press it flat. Let chill in fridge for 30 min before topping with cheesecake.


Cheesecake:
2 pkgs cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups sour cream
4 tsp. vanilla
2 (8 oz) tubs of cool whip

Beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually beat in sugar. Blend in sour cream, vanilla, then cool whip in that order. Spread over graham cracker crust.

Top with fresh fruit, or pie filling
