Alan’s Kitchen Tip:
Make it Easy:
Line 13x9-inch baking pan with 17x9-inch piece of parchment paper, with
ends of paper extending over sides of pan. Prepare recipe as directed.
When cooled, run knife along side of pan and gently lift cheesecake bars
out using paper handles. You should have no sticking problem!
