This is the slowest week ever. I’ve literally been sitting at work staring at the clock and it always is 1 hour behind what I think it is. Worst.feeling.ever. I also hate staring at the clock thinking it’s 3pm and in reality, it’s only like 1:30pm. I swear it happens to me every time.


I don’t even have much to say because I just want this week to be over and for the weekend to come. One of my best friends is getting married this weekend and I’ll be in the wedding so I get to get all purty’d up with the rest of the bridal party. Our bridesmaids dresses are adorable too. They have POCKETS! That’s seriously the best trend right now.


Will you look at these amazing cheesecake bars, though? No, those black specks on your screen isn’t dust, it’s VANILLA BEANS. Amazing. I love vanilla beans and their tiny bean pods. They’re so pretty and tasty!

I loved every square inch of these. They were rich and decadent but I loved the cheesecake layer and how smooth it was. The Biscoff – YES I SAID BISCOFF – crumb layer rounded out these cheesecake bars. It was just that magic touch to make these cheesecake bars even more sinful than they already are. The chocolate ganache atop these was the perfect choice to finish this off as well.

My friends and coworkers raved about these, and Jason couldn’t stop eating them. Definitely a winner here :)

  1. I’m not able to get heavy cream until morning… if I make the cheesecake tonight and the ganache in the morning and let it set for a few hours in the fridge will that be enough? Or does it need the ENTIRE night?! By the time dessert is served it can have sat in the fridge for at least 5-6 hours?

    1. sorry, i didn’t get to this comment as i was on holiday. i hope you were able to figure it out :( i’m sorry
