Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9x13 pan by spraying with cooking spray.
- Slice rhubarb and place in medium bowl. Add sugar and gelatin, stirring gently to thoroughly coat rhubarb slices. Set aside

- Sprinkle reserved crust mixture evenly across the rhubarb layer to make topping.
- Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Edges should be brown and bubbling but center will not be firm. Slight jiggle in the middle is desirable.

Tips:
- For the perfect cheesecake layer, make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature and beat it until smooth before adding the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough crust.
- To prevent the bars from cracking, let them cool completely before cutting.
- For a more intense rhubarb flavor, use fresh rhubarb instead of frozen.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to mix the crust ingredients together.
- Be careful not to overcook the rhubarb, as it can become mushy.
