Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry sugar cookie mix, softened butter, and eggs. Mix on low speed until well-combined.
- Add a couple of drops of red food coloring until desired color is achieved. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Making the cheesecake layer
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy.
- Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping and peppermint extract, beating on low until combined.
- Spread the cheesecake layer over the cooled cookie layer and place it in the freezer.
Pudding layer
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk.
- Add a drop or two of green food coloring until desired hue is achieved. Spread the pudding layer over the cheesecake layer and freeze for about 5 minutes.
Final assembly
- Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Top with mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and M&M candies.
- Place the bars in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours until perfectly set. Cut into squares before serving.
Notes
These bars can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to a month.
