Key Lime Cheesecake Cookie Bars and a Hop

June 4, 2012 26 Comments

These Key Lime Cheesecake Cookie Bars are some of my favorites to make.

For some reason though I haven’t made them in forever.
A few weeks ago I was wanting to make my hubby
a yummy treat for us to enjoy after the kids went to bed.
He loves cheesecake, and I love chocolate chip cookies.
These bars are just perfect for us!!!

I made and posted these bars a few years ago.
Want to see a much funnier different photo and blog style?  :-)
Go ahead and click over HERE to see the old post.
You will want to come right back here when you are done looking…
makes me laugh and cringe all in one looking at the whole thing.
Part of me wants to REDO all my old posts and update them
with fun new photos but…
a bigger part of me, likes to see how far I have come.
I love love love the photography aspect of baking and blogging,
so the old posts will stay so I can remember to continue learning.

Now when I redid these bars, I had to jazz them up
in true BruCrew fashion:-)
Enter in the key lime and sprinkles…
and home made chocolate chip cookie dough!!!
My husband LOVES key lime pie
so it was kind of a no brainer to try adding it into this bar.
And sprinkles make everything just that much more fun!!!

Now for some more fun…
Ashton from Something Swanky actually contacted me a few weeks ago
to participate in this REDO post.

How’s that for killing two birds with one stone?
I redid a recipe for the hop…
and made my hubby very happy with a key lime treat!!
Win win all around.

Go ahead and check out everyone else’s fun blogging redo now.
Then I suggest making some of these bars for dessert tonight.
You won’t regret it one bit!!!
