Chocolate Cheesecake Candy

This one is not as sweet as my Cream Cheese Candy since I add coco powder to bitter a little. You can just make the chocolate cream cheese candy without baking. Adding the graham cracker crust will give more texture and flavor of cheesecake.

Simple ingredients:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (about 1 stick)
• pinch of salt
• Optional: 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 3 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp. Coco powdered

Easy to make:

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs , salt and butter (and sugar, if you like more sweet) until crumbly. Place a parchment paper in a 8x8 baking pan. Evenly press the crust over pan bottom tightly. Place in the freezer while preparing the candy top.
2. In a small mixing bowl, mix cream cheese and vanilla with a plastic spatula. Then add sugar 1 cup at a time and knead with hand.until fully incorporated.
3. Preheat over to 350 degrees F.
4. Flatten the candy dough to a 8x8 square and place on the top of the chilled crust. Place a parchment paper on the top and press down evenly by hand. Remove the parchment paper from the top.
5. Bake in the oven for 5-8 minutes. Place in the freezer right away for at least one hour until the candy square is cold and hard.
6. Let the square sets out to room temperature before cut into small squares. Store in a airtight container in the refrigerator and serve cold or room temperature.
