I’m in the mood for chocolate today – how about you?? Let’s be honest though, I’m always in the mood for chocolate 🙂

I remember enjoying my very first chocolate cheesecake years ago and thinking to myself, my life will never be same. So decadent as to feel downright sinful, chocolate cheesecake is one of those pleasures I indulge in very seldom but outright crave quite frequently.

I put my cravings to rest, along with my guilt, with these  lightened up cheesecake bars.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

These Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake Bars taste utterly decadent but are made with Greek yogurt and light cream cheese so you can enjoy them without the guilt! | MomOnTimeout.com | #recipe #chocolate #cheesecake #bars #IDelight

The cheesecake bars are made with light cream cheese, Greek yogurt and my new favorite Toasted Hazelnut creamer from International Delight. I think we all know that chocolate and hazelnuts go together so nicely and it’s doubly true when we’re talking cheesecake.

I love an OREO cookie crust and it’s pretty much a must have for these bars. I didn’t add any additional sugar and you won’t notice a lack of sweetness…at all. These bars are so incredibly creamy, so rich, and absolutely decadent.

I topped the bars with a “ganache” made with bittersweet chocolate and Toasted Hazelnut creamer, a sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts and chocolate jimmies. So fun and cute!

    I am dying over these! I can NEVER resist chocolate with hazelnuts. When you add in the texture of cheesecake, you’ve entered “best dessert ever” territory.
