These bars are a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would add more flour next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I would cut the sugar in half next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but I still enjoyed these bars. The chocolate and cream cheese layers are so rich and creamy that they balance out the peppermint flavor.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover candy canes. I always have a few leftover after Christmas, and this is a great way to use them up.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate. I think it would make the bars even more delicious.
