How to Make Praline Crumb Caramel Cheesecake Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a food processor, pulse 35 graham cracker squares (17.5 full sheets) to make 2 1/2 cups crumbs. Pulse in 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, and 1 cup sugar until crust forms.

Press evenly and firmly into 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Reduce temperature to 325 degrees.

In a small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cornstarch.

In a large bowl, beat together 3 (8 oz) softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup sour cream. Add in sugar mixture until well combined.

Then beat in 1 1/2 tsp vanilla and 2 eggs.

Spread evenly over crust.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 50-55 minutes. The center should jiggle slightly when done.

Turn the oven off and open the door slightly. Let sit for 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 hour uncovered.

When the time is up, combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup heavy cream in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until well combined.

Bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups pecan halves.

Stir gently until it starts to look like caramel, for about 2-4 minutes.

Pour evenly over cheesecake.
