In a 1 quart mixing bowl, cut butter into chunks. Add brown sugar and flour; mix at medium speed, scraping sides of bowl often until well mixed (about 1 minute).
Reserve 1/2 cup crumb mixture for topping; press remaining crumb mixture into 8 inch square baking pan.

"These cheesecake bars were perfect as one of our desserts that we had with our Christmas turkey dinner. They added some Christmas colors and were like eating mini cheesecakes. The recipe only made a small batch but that was OK because we had a lot of other goodies to eat too."
