Three Layer Cheesecake Squares
This impressive Three Layer Cheesecake Squares recipe is bursting with flavor. Picture the layers from bottom to top: A chocolate crumb crust made of crushed vanilla wafers, HERSHEY'S Cocoa, butter and sugar creates a crunchy and rich foundation. A layer of tangy cheesecake flavored with tangy cream cheese keeps these Three Layer Cheesecake Squares extra-moist. And don't forget the sweet drizzle made of melted chocolate and peanut butter chips. The contrasting layers are truly impressive!
