Ingredients
Get the full list of ingredients, with measurements, and step-by-step instructions at the bottom of the post in the printable recipe card.
- Milk chocolate brownie mix – if you prefer a different type of brownie mix, or you have your own favorite homemade recipe, feel free to use that.
- Oreos is life, right? Everything is made better when you use Oreos as an ingredient.
- Mini chocolate chips work the best, however, feel free to use regular size.
- Regular Cream cheese is what I used; however, you can use lite. Make sure that you let it come to room temperature before using.
- Pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- You will need to use white granulated sugar.
- Pure vanilla extract is a must. Do not use imitation if possible.
- Pumpkin pie spice really brings out the flavors in this dessert.
- Always use Kosher salt or Sea salt when baking. Save the table salt for the table.

How Long Will They Last Refrigerated
These cheesecake bars will last up to five days in the fridge as long as you store them in an air-tight container.
Can You Freeze These?
You can. After cutting the bars, wrap each one in plastic wrap. Then wrap again with aluminum foil. Repeat the process for each bar. Then place them in a freezer safe storage bag.
They will last up to one month in the freezer. Then when you are ready to eat, allow them to thaw in the fridge overnight or place them on the counter to thaw for approximately two to four hours.

Notes
Sarah
I haven’t made these yet, but wanted to point something out about the recipe. You have the Oreos and mini chocolate chips under the brownie ingredients, however I think you need to either separate or note that some Oreos and the chocolate chips are reserved for later (step 4 and step 10). According to the instructions they are added later and not mixed in with all the other brownie ingredients in step 2. If someone didn’t notice that, they would probably mix all the Oreos and chocolate chips in with the brownie batter. Just a suggestion.
