Grasshopper Cheesecake Bars

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Mix flour, sugar, and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Set aside 1 cup of the crumbs to be used as the topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking pan.

Step 3
Bake crust in the preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes. Remove and let cool. Keep oven on.

Step 4
While crust is cooling, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add egg, peppermint extract, and green food coloring; beat well. Stir in milk until batter is smooth. Pour batter over the cooled crust. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture on top.

Step 5
Bake until filling is set, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into 25 bars.
