4218Thanks for the recipe. I have a Red Cross Christmas dinner on Dec. 7 and this would be perfect. I also just finished making all my pumpkin puree. Can you tell me what size can of pumpkin? Do you know how many cups that might be? Thanks again.

33871They sound yummy. So I can translate the recipe, what weight is a block of cream cheese, and a 'square' of chocolate in the US. In NZ we get cream cheese in varying size containers, and chocolate in anything between 50gram and 350gram blocks.

Cream cheese is 8 ounces. Chocolate comes in a bar that is serrated into squares that are about 1" x 1 " and 1/4" thick.
8431Ashta, those sound wonderful! Question though. Do you cook them in a storebought graham cracker crust, or the usual cheesecake crust that you do yourself in a springform pan?

You can do either actually. I am lazy most days and buy the store bought one, but if you are adventurous the homemade crusts work too... I use vanilla wafers and cinnamon grahams together for the pumpkin.
