Sometimes the perfect dessert is a simple sundae.  When I was younger, my brother, sister & I spent a lot of time at my grandparents house. In the summer on a really hot day, my grandfather would make us Mexican Sundaes. As simple as they were, I just loved the taste of the hot fudge and Spanish peanuts over good vanilla ice cream.

It wasn’t a big event or anything fancy, but it was a treat that I remember really looking forward to as a child. This week marks 16 years since my grandfather passed away. I think about him everyday, but this week even a little more than usual.

As a little way to remember him and those special times, I decided that I would make Mexican Sundaes for my children. We don’t really have sundaes a lot at our house, so it was a special treat. I got to tell them about the summers we spent with my grandfather and share part of my childhood with them. It was a sweet moment:)

I had some ingredients left over from our sundaes, so I was inspired to make these little cheesecake bars. They are really easy to make and have that wonderful Mexican Sundae flavor. The Spanish peanut crust gives you a wonderful nut flavor combined with creamy cheesecake in every bite.

You can keep these in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them and then just top the cheesecake bars with your favorite hot fudge and some Spanish peanuts. It’s a great dessert to make ahead of time and is simple but delicious!
