    List of Ingredients




    Makes 48

    Crust:
    30 chocolate sandwich cookies
    1/4 cup hot fudge topping, not heated

    Filling:
    1 envelope unflavored gelatin
    1/2 cup cold strong coffee
    16 ounces cream cheese -- softened
    3/4 cup sugar
    8 ounces sour cream
    3 ounces bittersweet chocolate -- melted
    chocolate coffee beans -- garnish

    Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with foil, letting foil extend about 2-inch above pan at narrow ends. Grease or coat foil with nonstick cooking spray.

    Crust: Process cookies in food processor (or crush in a sturdy plastic food bag) until reduced to fine crumbs (you should have a scant 3 cups). Add fudge topping to crumbs and process (or knead in bag) until crumbs are moistened. Press firmly over bottom of prepared pan. Place in freezer while proceeding.

    Filling:
    Sprinkle gelatin over cold coffee in a small saucepan; let stand 1 min.

    Place over low heat and stir with a rubber spatula until granules completely dissolve. Remove from heat.

    Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with mixer on high speed until smooth. Reduce speed to med.; beat in sour cream until blended. With mixer on low speed, beat in coffee mixture. Stir in chocolate until blended.

    Pour into crust, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or until firm. Lift foil by ends onto cutting board. Cut into bars; garnish each with 2 coffee beans.

    Planning Tip: Refrigerate for up to 1 week in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers. Or freeze in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then freeze airtight with waxed paper between layers up to 1 month.

    Tip: For neatly cut bars, dip a long, sharp knife into tall container of hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
