- In a microwave safe bowl, add the butter and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat for 15 more seconds if necessary
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar and stir to combine well.
- Pour the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it evenly and gently press it down. Don't press too hard or the crust will be harder.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely while making the cheesecake batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sugar and blend with an electric mixer for 5 minutes until smooth. (use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment if desired).
- Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and pinch of salt, and blend until combined thoroughly.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust and spread out evenly.

Notes
- Although I don't, you can place the bars back in the oven after adding pecan layer and bake for an additional 15-30 minutes until desired color. Be careful not to burn.
- Allow the cream cheese and eggs to sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to reach room temperature.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. You can also freeze these bars for up to 2 months. I like to wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil and place them in a large freezer bag. Let them thaw in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before eating.
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean after each cut.
