Notes

Prep Efficiently: Gather all your ingredients and utensils before starting the baking process.
Smooth Crust: When you process the Graham cracker cookies, make sure it’s completely smooth and you do not have any chunks
Even Crust: Press down the graham cracker crumbs evenly and firm to ensure it’s evenly distributed to ensure you have a stable base.
Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese blends more easily, ensuring a smoother filling.
Gentle Mixing: Once the egg is added, mix any other ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can lead to cracks or and bubbles, resulting in an uneven filling.
Chill Thoroughly: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating. Chilling for at least 3 hours and up to overnight will help the filling to set well.
