Happy Half-Birthday Xander!

Poor Xander. He's just been feeling left out - with the baby, and then Scott and I both just had birthdays. And since his is so close to Christmas, we decided to do a little something for him. So I made this yummy rocky road cheesecake that I've been wanting to try. But apparently Xander doesn't like cheesecake, I guess he gets that from Scott. Still, I thought it was pretty great - not too sweet.

4 squares Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, divided

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 tub thawed Cool Whip

3/4 cup marshmallows

1/3 cup chopped peanuts or almonds

1 Oreo Pie Crust (6 oz.)

MICROWAVE 2 of the chocolate squares in small microwaveable bowl maybe 20 seconds; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Set aside and allow to cool.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar and milk in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Gently stir in cool whip, marshmallows and peanuts. Coarsely chop remaining 2 chocolate squares; stir into cream cheese mixture. Spoon into crust.

REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until set. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.
