1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted |
2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
8 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, divided |
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, thawed |
Directions:
1. Line 13 x9 pan with foil, extending ends of foil over sides of pan to use later to lift out of pan. 2. Mix graham crumbs, butter & 2 tablespoons sugar. 3. Press firmly onto bottom of prepared pan, then refrigerate while preparing filling. 4. Microwave 6 of the chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is completely melted. 5. Set aside to cool slightly. 6. With electric mixer on medium, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar & vanilla in large bowl until well blended. 7. Gently stir in whipped topping. 8. Pour half of batter into medium bowl, & stir into it the melted chocolate. 9. Pour this mixture over crust, then cover that with the remaining plain batter. 10. Melt remaining 2 chocolate squares as directed on package, then drizzle over batter. 11. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. 12. Using foil handles, remove cheesecake from pan, then cut into bars. 13.
