Chocolate Cheesecake Squares Recipe

• FOR CRUST AND TOPPING:
• PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Lightly grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
• COMBINE flour, nuts, brown sugar and butter in medium bowl; reserve 1 cup mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture onto bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or just until light golden brown.
• FOR FILLING:
• BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in small mixer bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs. Gradually beat in evaporated milk.
• MICROWAVE morsels in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Beat into cream cheese mixture. Pour over hot crust. Sprinkle with reserved topping mixture.
• BAKE for 25 to 35 minutes or until center is set. Cool in pan to room temperature. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.

NOTE: Store in refrigerator after serving.
