Fudge Cheesecake Bars

PLEASE don't make these - you won't stop eating them!





4 (1-ounce) bars unsweetened baking chocolate

1 cup (2 sticks) butter

2 1/2 cups sugar, divided

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup chopped chocolate-coated caramel-peanut nougat bars







Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.



In a large microwaveable bowl, place baking chocolate and butter. Microwave on high 2 to 2-1/2 minutes, stirring after each minute, until chocolate and butter are completely melted. Beat in 2 cups sugar, 3 eggs, and the vanilla, until blended. Stir in flour, then spread batter in prepared baking dish.



In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, the remaining sugar, and remaining egg. Stir in candy. Drop by dollops over batter. With a knife, swirl the batter to the top to create a marbled effect.



Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or just until set. Cool completely in baking dish on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
