Salted Caramel Cheesecake Stuffed Sugar Cookie Bars

We normally like to go to a show, movie or a fun event for my Dad’s Birthday, but because of Covid, we had a simple small family dinner at the house. So I decided to invent a dessert recipe for my dad. Introducing my new favourite decadent dessert… The Little Stevie! It’s a sugar cookie bar stuffed with salted caramel chips and topped with skor!

I will be sharing in the coming weeks the step-by-step process on how this side dish is made! Follow me and keep an eye on my Instagram Story!
