CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT CHEESECAKE
After making some delicious dessert bars, I was determined to turn the recipe into a chocolate peppermint cheesecake. This festive dessert is the result and one of my favorites to serve for the holidays. Whether I share it with family or give it as a gift, it always receives rave reviews. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
