Tammy's Review: 

An easy to make cheesecake snack... these hand-held bars are perfect for picnic or potlucks, when a traditional cheesecake would be more difficult to serve/eat. Great for lunches. Also, you can vary the filling (change the fruit and jam flavors) for variety :). My rating: 8/10.

I like "real" cheesecake better, still ;)
