- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 13 X 9 baking pan evenly with non-stick cooking spray.

- Remove the chocolate chips, stir thoroughly to smooth and spread evenly over the top of the squares.
- Chill for 15 minutes until the chocolate sets and then remove from fridge.
- When squares have returned to room temperature (so chocolate won't crack) cut into 36 squares.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will directly affect the taste of your cheesecake squares. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, dark flavor.
- Don't overbeat the cream cheese: Overbeating the cream cheese can make the cheesecake squares dense and crumbly. Be sure to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, but do not overbeat it.
- Use a water bath: Baking the cheesecake squares in a water bath helps to prevent them from cracking and overcooking. To create a water bath, place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Chill the cheesecake squares before serving: Chilling the cheesecake squares for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly.

Turtle cheesecake squares are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
