I saw this being made by Barbara Northwood on a morning television show. Oh my goodness its great. I did substitute food coloring and pepermint essence with vanilla essence, and added a touch of Baileys to filling and the topping. And ohhh it was sooooooo GOOD!

2 (170 g) blocks family kit kat chocolate candy bars, crushed
60 g unsalted butter, melted

2 eggs
300 g sour cream
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
green food coloring, to tint
100 g dark cooking chocolate, chopped

1. Grease a 19cm x 30cm rectangular slice pan. Line the base and sides with baking paper extending 2cm above edges of the pan.
2. Combine chocolate bars and butter in a bowl and mix well. Press mix evenly over base of prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate while making filling.
3. To make filling, beat cream cheese and the sugar in a small bowl with an mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time then fold in the sour cream an essence. Tint green with food colouring (optional) and pour filling over biscuit base.
