Show your love for Valentine’s Day with these Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars. The perfect combination of red velvet and cream cheese topped with M&M’s!

Red velvet cheesecake brownies are hands down my favorite type of dessert. I love it when Valentine’s Day rolls around because it means that red velvet is so much easier to find. Of course, for me, red velvet treats have to come with cream cheese or they just aren’t “right.” Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars

I made Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars and they were the perfect combination of red velvet flavor with cream cheese mixed in! One of my favorite things to do it make desserts and other recipes and share them with my friends and neighbors.

At least once a week, I try to take something in to share with co-workers. All of the great Valentine’s Day candy I found at Walmart, like M&M’sยฎ Red Velvet and DOVEยฎ Promises, make it really easy to make yummy red velvet desserts and share them.
