ST. PATRICK'S CHOCOLATE & MINT CHEESECAKE BARS
In honor of my Irish heritage and maiden name, I am dedicating these to my children. My kids love mint and I put this recipe together for St. Patrick's Day a few years back. It turned out better then anticipated. I want to share with others this recipe and hope others enjoy this as much as my family does.

Tips:
- For the perfect cheesecake texture, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream. The cream cheese provides richness, while the sour cream adds a little tang and helps to prevent the cheesecake from becoming too dense.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start making the cheesecake. This will help it to mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to become tough.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent it from cracking. The water bath helps to create a moist environment in the oven, which prevents the cheesecake from drying out.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least four hours before serving. This will help it to set properly.
