Do any of you find it hard to come back from a long, relaxing weekend??! We were able to get away for the weekend to my parents. While we were there, I was able to spend some time in the kitchen with my mom. We whipped up these easy mocha cheesecake bars in no time at all.
I thoroughly enjoyed eating them! I don’t get to eat desserts with coffee in them very often because my husband can’t stand coffee. 🙁 So, when the opportunity arises to make something with coffee in it that someone else will enjoy, I make sure to take it!
These are delicious! Full of chocolatey and coffee goodness! Plus, they are a perfect warm weather dessert because no oven is needed!

I came across these rather randomly in my quest for some delectable coffee dessert recipes, and I’m so glad I did! Thanks for sharing–these will be the next ones on my list! And maybe with some Kahlua thrown in for good measure.
Is it cream cheese or sour cream?
Lovely recipe, love the taste of mocha with the cheesecake!
