Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

I've been making this recipe for years. I cannot remember where I got it from, but it is awesome! It's all the deliciousness of cheesecake without the pains of a a spring form pan.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
3- 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz pkg mini chocolate chips, divided

Beat first three ingredients at medium speed until well blended and crumbly. If the mixture looks too dry, just add a bit more butter. Pat into a lightly greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes.

Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed until eggs are just blended.
Add sour cream, vanilla and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, beating until just blended. Pour over baked crust.
Bake at 350 for 25 minuted.
Cool completely
Melt remaining chips and drizzle over the cooled bars.
Chill 4 hours before serving.
