Peppermint Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients 

1½ cups butter, softened 

20 oz cream cheese, softened 

1½ cups sweetener - you can either use regular sugar or a sugar substitute 

 2½ teaspoons peppermint extract, or to taste

 1 candy cane (optional)* 

red food coloring (optional)

 Instructions 

1. Line an 8x8 pan with waxed or parchment paper, leaving a little extra hanging on both sides. 2. Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth. Feel free to add more peppermint extract for desired taste. 3. Pour cheesecake mixture into lined pan. 4. For red swirls, put 3-5 drops of red food coloring on the top of the cheesecake and swirl using a knife. 5. To decorate, break the candy cane and sprinkle it over the cheesecake. 6. Chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. 7. Use the hanging paper to lift the cheesecake and then peel the paper off. 8. Cut cheesecake into 8 bars. 

Easy peasy, right????

Sharon, I think you want to dump The Only Hacker in the World comment. Can’t believe your spam filter didn’t catch that one. I am making this recipe for sure. I just took a screen shot of it. I love peppermint. Tell Noelle to come see us. Sawyer slept between my legs all night and is sleeping on my feet now. He knows how to keep warm. He is sending Noelle a bazillion whisker kisses and an equal number of paw-pats. Hugs, Janet

Oh Yummy!
I can see those being directly applied to Mom's hips (even just thinking about them). I don't think Mom is going to make them this year.
