Ingredients:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking pan.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
Pour cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking pan. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and swirl with a knife. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Allow to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours. Cut into bars and enjoy!

For an extra caramel flavor, drizzle more caramel sauce on top before serving.
You can add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel for a sweet and salty twist.
Feel free to customize with additional toppings like chocolate chips or whipped cream.
Make ahead and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for a quick dessert option.
Experiment with different nuts like walnuts or almonds for a variation in taste and texture.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or almond meal for the crust.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a fancy presentation.
Let the cheesecake bars sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a creamier texture.
Use a springform pan for easy removal of the bars for a more polished look.
