Frosted Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Taste of Home
"Heavenly" is a good description for this luscious dessert, conveniently made a
day ahead. When I don't have a candy bar on hand, I melt ¾ cup of chocolate
chips to use in the frosting. Whipped cream can be used in place of the whipped
topping.-Arlene Butler, Ogden, Utah
