Sweet Potato Pie Cheesecake Bars

My grandmother Nanny made the best cheesecake! It was one of the first recipes she taught me. Her sweet potato pie was as good as it gets too. So I’m combining the best of both worlds with my Sweet Potato Pie Cheesecake Bars! #LetsVibe

Let me see if we all lived the same life… Did you used to eat the frosting off of a Hostess Cupcake & THEN eat the cake itself? When is the last time you had one of those nostalgic childhood treats? I don’t bake often, but these Homemade Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes were calling my name & it’s so easy for you to make! #LetsVibe
