Chocolate Almond Cheesecake Bars

Speaking of the tutu party I have had a few request for this recipe. I have posted it on my blog but here it is again just in case you haven't seen it.

Crust:1 c chocolate cookie crumbs
¼ c butter melted

Filling: 1 pkg cream cheese
¼ c sour cream
¼ c sugar
1 egg
¼ tsp almond extract

Coating: 2 ½ c semisweet choc chips
3 Tblsp shortening
2 oz vanilla almond bark (chopped)
1 tsp oil

Preheat 300°. Line 8x8 pan with foil. Grease foil. Mix crust and press into bottom of pan. Mix cream cheese, sour cream and sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and almond. Pour over crust. Bake 30-40 min (edges should be set and center should be soft). Cool 1 hr on cooling rack then 1 hour in fridge.

Cover 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Remove cheesecake from pan (just lift foil out). Cut 8x6 to make 48 bites. Microwave chocolate chips and shortening at 50% power for 3 minutes, stir then microwave at 15 sec increments until melted and smooth. Place 1 cheesecake bite of fork and dip into chocolate covering it (works best when bites are cold). Place on waxed paper. Then microwave almond bark and oil on high 1 min, stir and microwave in 15 sec increments until melted and smooth. Drizzle over bites.

Polynesian Meatballs


This one is for Nicole Kerwood! She wanted this recipe! It is what we are having for dinner tonight!! I have to give credit to Heidi Broderick for giving me this yummy recipe! Its super easy to make.
Ingredients:
1 tsp. oil
1 large red pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce

1 tsp. garlic powder
2 cans (8 oz. each) pineapple chunks, drained, liquid reserved
12 oz. (3/4 of 1-lb. pkg.) frozen cooked meatballs
2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
ps It is still good if you don't have red pepper to put in it!!
I actually like to chop up my pineapple chunks so they are crushed.
How to make it:
HEAT oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions; cook 5 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
STIR in barbecue sauce, ginger, garlic powder and reserved pineapple liquid. Add meatballs; mix lightly until evenly coated. Cook 10 min. or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook rice as directed on package.
STIR pineapple into meatball mixture. Serve over the rice.
