This impressive Three Layer Cheesecake Squares recipe is bursting with flavor. Picture the layers from bottom to top: A chocolate crumb crust made of crushed vanilla wafers, HERSHEY'S Cocoa, butter and sugar creates a crunchy and rich foundation. A layer of tangy cheesecake flavored with tangy cream cheese keeps these Three Layer Cheesecake Squares extra-moist. And don't forget the sweet drizzle made of melted chocolate and peanut butter chips. The contrasting layers are truly impressive!

For another sweet treat in bar form, check out these Butter Toffee Cheesecake Bars that are equal parts moist, nutty, creamy and delicious.
