Cheesecake Swirl Bars
- 55 vanilla wafers, crushed
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons rum extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup refrigerated eggnog
- 1/2 cup white chocolate morsels, melted
- 1/2 cup double chocolate morsels, melted (we tested with Ghirardelli), or regular semisweet morsels
- Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until blended. Press crumb mixture into bottom of a lightly greased 8" or 9" square pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for 8 minutes. Cool.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, and rum extract at medium speed with an electric mixer just until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended. Pour 1 1/2 cups cream cheese batter evenly over baked crust.
- Stir eggnog into remaining batter. Divide batter in half; stir melted white chocolate into 1 portion. Spoon evenly over cream cheese batter. Stir melted semisweet chocolate into remaining batter. Drop spoonfuls of chocolate batter evenly over white chocolate layer; gently swirl batters with a knife.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 30 to 33 minutes or until almost set. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving. Cut into bars. Yield: 1 dozen
