Assembly Instructions

1) mix crumbs and melted butter together and spread over 8×8 greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
2) In medium bowl, stir together butter and sugar until smooth. Add flour, then vanilla and chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes until firm. Then roll into tsp. size balls and return to refrigerator.
3) Beat softened cream cheese with egg and vanilla. Then mix in cookie dough balls with cheesecake mixture.
4) Spread the mixture over the crust evenly and into the corners. This may take some work to have it spread entirely over the mixture. Crush 3 oreos and sprinkle over top.
5) Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until set and cheesecake doesn’t jiggle. Refrigerate for several hours and then drizzle chocolate mixture over bars. Cool until hard.
