For a recent lab BBQ (I know hard to believe but even us lab rats have fun outside -gasp!) I was in charge of bringing the sweet stuff. For a group of 13 people with varied tastes this can be a daunting task, so instead of trying something new and wild I decided to try something new yet tried and true - Cheesecake Bars courtesy of Bakerella.
Who can say no to cheesecake - especially cheesecake with a delicious cookie crust topped with a decadent chocolate ganache - apparently my advisor - oops sorry boss! - but hopefully the rest of the lab would approve!

Right Off The Bat
I don't believe in starting small - with that in mind my first baking experiment needed to be something I had never imagined I could pull off. The obvious answer? Cupcake Bites by one of my inspirations - Bakerella.
After purchasing (with unnatural levels of excitement) chocolate melts and candy melts and cookie cutters the procedure began!
I used this chocolate cake recipe from Pioneer Woman, another one of my idols (Let me clarify here, I have not yet reached the pinnacle of creating my own delicious recipes such as these lovely ladies have, so until their muses hit me I will humbly attempt to recreate their greatness)
