    Look at these "I'm so Fancy" Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Bars. These cheesecake bars do look real fancy, with that chocolate swirl and Oreo crust! 

    What a treat to share with family, friends, at parties and the holidays. Bring these Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Bars to the yard and everyone will be swooning and begging for more.

    Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Bars

    Anywhooo...How festive and colorful are these swirly cheesecake bars paired with two of the most wonderful yummy flavors for fall?  

    Yup...pumpkin and chocolate together is like whoa!  

    However, chocolate never goes out of style for any season!   But it's pretty obvious, pumpkin is completely one of the main dessert ideas for the fall and winter holidays.  But, chocolate and pumpkin is highly under-rated, in my opinion.  If you've never tried pumpkin and chocolate together in a cheesecake type dessert, give it a go!

    Pumpkin Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Bars

    Ingredients You Need for Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

    For the Crust

    • Oreo cookies, I used Oreo Thins, crushed
    • sugar
    • unsalted butter, melted

    Pumpkin and Chocolate Cheesecake Filling

    • cream cheese
    • sugar
    • canned pumpkin puree
    • eggs
    • all-purpose flour
    • pumpkin-pie spice
    • salt
    • semisweet chocolate chips

    How to Make Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Set aside.
    2. Blend crushed cookies with sugar, then add in melted butter and mix well (Approx. 1 cup of mixture.)
    3. Transfer crumb mixture to prepared pan, and press gently into bottom. Bake until slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
    4. Using mixer, mix softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, flour, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt and process until combined. Set aside.
    5. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted. Add 1 cup of the pumpkin cheesecake mixture and combine and stir until well incorporated. Set aside.
    6. Pour remaining pumpkin mixture into prepared pan.
    7. Dollop drops of the chocolate mixture onto pumpkin mixture and swirl with a butter knife.
    8. Bake until cheesecake is set but jiggles slightly when gently shaken, 35-45 for 9-inch pan, 40 to 50 minutes for 8-inch pan. Cool in pan.
    9. Cover and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
    10. Take cheesecake out of pan with sides of tin-foil for easy removal and with a knife dipped in water, cut into 16 squares. Serve.
