Filling: in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar at medium speed with a mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and 12 ounces Peppermint Bark. Spoon batter into cooled crust. Bake for one hour. Turn oven off, and leave cheesecake in oven with door closed for 1 hour. Remove from oven, and cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill overnight before serving. Garnish with whipped topping and Peppermint Bark, if desired.
