S'mores Cheesecake Squares

So I have been craving cheesecake for a while now.. My husband and I were going to go to the Cheesecake Factory and a movie last night to celebrate my birthday, but what do ya know?! It didnt happen! God had other plans for us apparently including a bruised bum and hand, and a sore back and head from my fall on the ice last night.. Oh well!
