M&M Cheesecake

Ingredients:

1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

3 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup sugar

2 Tbsp. flour

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 pkg. M&M's or mini M&M's

3 Tbsp. melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Combine crushed Oreo's and butter in a small bowl; stir mixture with fork.

Once mixture is moist, pour crumbs onto bottom of a 9 inch spring-form pan. Press crumbs evenly onto the bottom of pan using fingertips. Bake crust in oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, put crust aside to cool.

In medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and flour on medium speed until creamy and well mixed.

Scrape side of bowl and add one egg at a time to cream cheese mixture, mixing well after each egg is added. Stir in vanilla.

Stir in three quarters of the M&M's (do not use beaters).

Pour cream cheese mixture into the spring-form pan. With the last quarter of M&M's place them lightly on the top of the cake.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, then lower temperature to 250. Bake an additional 30 minutes, or until the top looks dry and cake has very little movement in center.

When done baking, carefully slide flat knife or spatula preferably around edge of cake. Place in refrigerator over night.
