one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

In a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in the milk, eggs, and peppermint extract until smooth. Pour over the cooled cookie base. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate chips over low heat and drizzle over the top of the bars. Sprinkle the chopped candies over the top and cut into squares.
