  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  3. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until slightly golden. Cool at room temperature while preparing the filling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, blending well.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in mini marshmallows and milk chocolate chips gently.
  7. Spread the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing out evenly.
  8. Bake the cheesecake bars for 30–35 minutes until the center is set but jiggles slightly.
  9. Cool at room temperature for about one hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
  10. Spread marshmallow cream on top if desired, then slice into squares and serve chilled.
