These Raspberry Grasshopper Bars are a thrillifying combination of flavors — the green minty cheesecake layer is sharp and complex, and the pink raspberry frosting layer is sweet and delicate. Remind you of two witches we know? These flavors perfectly pair with a decadent chocolate cookie base made from Betty Crocker™ Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix, and the recipe easily comes together by using Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting swirled with raspberry jam.
