Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

I made this for company and it was a real hit. The pan was gone in no time. I'm planning on making it again real soon.

This recipe is a wonderful way to rev up the flavor of cheesecake with the wonderful flavor of fresh blueberries. You can also substitue your favorite jam and fresh fruit.

Easy and very good. I used blueberry pie filling instead of realy blueberrys and jelly filling. Everyone loved it.

Easy to make! Great taste! The only jar of blueberry jam I could find was a 10 oz. jar. I used all of it anyway. The crust was crumbly when trying to spread the jam, and crumbly when serving the finished bars. I'm wondering about baking the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling ingredients next time - perhaps it would be less crumbly. <<< From Mary, Kraft Kitchens Expert ~ Refrigerate the crust while preparing the cheesecake filling. This will firm up the butter in the crust and reduce the crumbliness. >>>

I made this recipe for my girlfriends son graduation party, it was a hit. My next ginny pigs are my co-workers.

I made this for a small family gathering and took the leftovers to work the next day. It was a big hit all around. Will definitely have to make this again!

A great summertime dessert recipe!! I did change the directions, however, for my own use: * I only had 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs, but that made enough crust for my use; I also mixed the crumbs with the butter prior to lining the pan with them. *The smallest jar I could find was 10-oz of blueberry fruit spead, so I used that--spreading it with my fingers worked like a charm! *I used a whole pint of blueberries instead of just one cup. Yum! I can't wait to make this recipe again, and use other fruits with it!!

I made this for my friends at work and they all loved it. I will make it again soon. I did use more butter with the graham cracker crumbs and also a little non-stick spray at the bottom of the pan, which made it very easy to get the cut bars out of the pan.

This was a great recipe to make. It's easy (both my kids 2 and 4 years old had fun helping) and came out terrific. I read the ratings before making and agree that more butter with the graham cracker crumbs makes for a better crust with less mess when spreading the jam. A little non-stick spray at the bottom of the pan helps, too.

I agree with happymama's comments. The crust is very crumbly in spreading the jam and when trying to serve the squares. Would more butter help? The only blueberry jam I could find was the Smucker's Simply 100% Fruit in a 10 oz. jar. I used all of it. Everyone at our party ate and enjoyed this dessert!
