The minty cheesecake looks tasty. It would have been a good St. Patrick's Day recipe with a little green food coloring added.

If you like mint flavored desserts, this is a super recipe:

Peppermint Patty Brownies

1 1/2 cups margarine
3 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
24 small peppermint patties

Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in eggs till well blended. Stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Blend well.
Reserve 2 cups of batter, set aside.

Grease 13x9x2 inch pan. Spread remaining batter in prepared pan. Arrange peppermint patties in a single layer over batter about 1/2 inch apart.

Spread reserved 2 cups batter over patties. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes till brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

This Recipe is not at all in anyway pleasing. I got this recipe from a differant site and it's the same one. But the recipe is wrong. there is not enough creamcheese filling. I was very dissapointed when making this. finished product did not turn out like the picture posted. Was not fluffy and light. it was mushy and looked very unapatizing. I baked it for 30 minutes on 325. then again for 10 more and then AGAIN for 10 more minutes. still when i took it out the middle was not cooked. but i had to take it out unless i wanted the sides to be burned. !!!!!

Tracey shortening is like a grease -

Aliceb I am so glad you posted this! I tried the recipe and it was divine! I'm not sure what MeganChristine is talking about. I was thinking about emailing her but she only added this one post back in feb.


This one is definitely going down in my cookbook for superbowl sunday! Thank yoooouuuu! Next time I'll post a photo when we make them. Before I could grab the camera they were all gone! My DH and DD ate them all.
