Andes Cheesecake Supreme

This is being posted early by request. I try to post recipes when I have pictures to go with them, but yesterday I was informed that this needed to be on my blog – pronto!

I found this a couple of years ago on the Tootsie Roll website. It is a huge hit with everyone! (Hopefully their picture will work out for us, lol.)

Andes® Cheesecake Supreme

Andes Cheesecake Supreme

Ingredients:

1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (use Mi-Del chocolate mint sandwich cookies for extra minty goodness)

1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 package (4.67 oz.) Andes® Crème de Menthe Thins chopped (28 candies) or 1 cup Andes® Crème de Menthe Baking Chips
Andes® Crème de Menthe Thins (28 candies)
