Santa Hat Peppermint Cheesecake Bars: Super creamy peppermint cheesecake inside a homemade oreo crust. Top with a strawberry to resemble Santa’s Hat!

Peppermint Cheesecake Bars

I go through vanilla extract like no one’s business. However, I hardly ever reach for my Peppermint Extract.

I use it every year in my Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. However, it tends to languish on the shelf until I buy a new bottle the next year.

These Peppermint Cheesecake Bars a great way to use up peppermint extract. However, they’re also very customizable.

Seeing this Peppermint Cheesecake Bars recipe after Christmas? Feel free to substitute vanilla extract and top with strawberries for a yummy Valentines Day treat.
