Cranberry Cheesecake Bars image

Here's a yummy holiday bar from my mother's recipe collection that my family and friends just love! The delicious butter crust makes it special. It goes very nicely on a Thanksgiving dessert buffet table (if you have room for dessert)!

Time 50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18.25 ounce) package butter cake mix
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
¼ cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat cake mix, butter, and 1 egg together in a bowl using an electric mixer on low speed until mixture is crumbly; stir in pecans. Press mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is set, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Stir cranberry sauce and nutmeg together in a separate bowl. Carefully spread cream cheese mixture onto crust. Spoon cranberry sauce mixture in 3 rows lengthwise over cream cheese mixture. Pull a knife through cranberry sauce mixture into cream cheese mixture to form swirls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cream cheese mixture is set, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
