Ingredients used for these 4th of July Cheesecake Bars

• Chocolate oreo crumbs- I like to use the chocolate cookie crumbs but you can use vanilla oreos, vanilla wafers or graham cracker crumbs for a graham cracker crust.
• Sugar-  You need a little granulated sugar for the crust and the filling. 
• Unsalted butter- You need this melted for the crust, I like to use unsalted but you can use what you have on hand. 
• Cream cheese- Of course for creamy cheesecake bars you need cream cheese and you want to make sure this softened to room temperature so it gives you a silky smooth cheesecake batter. These bars call for 4 blocks of cream cheese.  I have not made this with
  low-fat cream cheese but you could certainly use that if you prefer.
• Sour cream-  This adds a little richness and tang to the cheesecake. 
• Vanilla extract-  I like to use vanilla extract in these bars but you can use any extract you like, lemon would be perfect for the summer you could even use a little fresh lemon juice or lemon zest. 
• Eggs-  Eggs give these cheesecake bars their richness and help hold everything together. I use large eggs for this recipe. 
• Red food coloring and blue food coloring-  I prefer to use gel food coloring for this recipe as the colors are more vibrant and perfect for the Fourth of July. 
• Whipped topping- You can use the can whipped topping or cool-whip if you like. It makes a
  delicious topping.
• Sprinkles-  I can find red, white and blue sprinkles in any grocery store this time of year but you can also find them HERE ON AMAZON.
