For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cake mix. If you don't have creme de menthe flavoring, peppermint extract can be used as a substitute. To prevent the chocolate drizzle from hardening too quickly, work in a cool environment. Store leftover cheesecake bars in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
