Overall, I thought these bars were very good. They were a little time-consuming to make, but they were definitely worth the effort.

I had some trouble getting the praline crumble crust to set. I ended up having to bake it for a few extra minutes.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good.

The cheesecake itself was creamy and decadent, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. It was the perfect finishing touch to these bars.

The caramel filling was smooth and rich, with a deep, buttery flavor. It was the perfect complement to the tangy cheesecake.

The praline crumble crust was the perfect base for these bars. It was buttery and crumbly, and it held up well to the creamy caramel and cheesecake filling.
