2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, blend together the butter and margarine using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans.

3. Press into Pan: Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

4. Bake the Crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden.

5. Prepare the Filling: In another medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest, beating well after each addition.

6. Assemble the Bars: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked crust.

7. Add Blueberries: Sprinkle the rinsed and drained blueberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.

8. Top with Topping: Sprinkle the topping packet from the muffin mix evenly over the blueberries.

9. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.

10. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate until ready to serve.

11. Slice and Enjoy: Cut into squares or bars before serving.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
• Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
• Let the bars chill thoroughly before cutting to ensure clean slices.

These Blueberry Cheesecake Bars are a wonderful treat that combines the richness of cheesecake with the fruity goodness of blueberries, making them a standout dessert for any gathering or simply as a delightful indulgence.
