Creme Brulee Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients:

1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix;

2 t packed brown sugar;

1 small box french vanilla instant pudding mix;

1/2 cup butter, melted;

2 1/2 t vanilla, separated;

2 eggs plus 3 egg yolks;

2 packages cream cheese, softened;

1/2 cup sour cream;

1/2 cup sugar;

3/4 cup toffee bits, finely crushed.

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir cookie mix, pudding mix, brown sugar, melted butter, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla an 1 whole egg until a soft dough forms. Press dough in the bottom of the pan

With a mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth, scraping the sides. Add sour cream and sugar and beat on medium until really smooth. Add remaining whole egg, 3 egg yolks and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla. Beat until smooth and spread over crust.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until center is set. Remove from oven and sprinkle with toffee bits. Place a cookie sheet over the top and let sit about 10 minutes. Remove cookie sheet and cool for 20 minutes. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled. Cut into bars and serve. I like to let them sit out for at least 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
