Re: Crushed-Peppermint Cheesecake
OK, I made the above cheesecake for our office holiday potluck. I decided to go a little off the recipe and melted some Candy Cane Hershey Kisses which I poured over the top of the cheesecake after it had cooled and then just added a tiny bit of crushed candy cane (for appearance).

Well after being in the refrigerator for a day the melted Hershey Kisses became hard, like peppermint bark which in turn made the cutting of the cheesecake quite difficult.

Does anyone know what I could of added to the melted Candy Cane Hershey Kisses so they would not have harden so much. Maybe some Crisco?? Thanks

(anyway, the cheesecake was a hit despite having trouble cutting it!!!)
