1/4 cups Margarine, Melted
_____
FOR THE FILLING:
3 packages Cream Cheese (8 Oz Each)
1/4 teaspoons Vanilla
1/4 teaspoons Peppermint Extract
3 drops Green Food Coloring
1 cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Flour
1/4 teaspoons Salt
2-1/2 whole Eggs (2 Eggs Plus 1 Yolk)
1/4 cups Milk
1 cup Chocolate Chips (mini If Desired)
_____
FOR THE GANACHE:
1/2 cups Heavy Cream
1 cup Chocolate Chips

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Break up Oreos into fine crumbs (by hand or using a food processor) and mix in margarine. Press into a greased Springform pan, pressing up the sides as well. Bake for 7 minutes then remove it from the oven and set aside while preparing the filling.
3
Turn the oven up to 450F.
4
Soften cream cheese and beat till creamy. Add vanilla, mint extract and food coloring. In a separate bowl, sift together sugar, flour and salt. Gradually beat this into cream cheese mixture until well mixed. Add 2 whole eggs and 1 yolk and beat until blended. Gently stir in milk and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
5
Pour the filling into your crust-lined pan and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300. Bake an additional 55 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes, remove the side of the Springform pan and cool for 2 hours or more before serving.
6
To make the ganache, put the 1 cup of chocolate chips into a bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan over medium heat, then pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Whisk together until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then pour/spread over cheesecake. Top with the remaining 2-3 roughly crumbled Oreos. Allow ganache to cool and set before serving.

*Tip - Apply the mint extract to your taste. I used a little over 1/4 teaspoon and found that plenty. I would not use more than 1/2 teaspoon.
