3 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar

Heat oven to 325 degrees. In medium bowl, combine crust ingredients; blend well. Press evenly in bottom and 2 inches up sides of ungreased 10 inch spring-form pan. In large bowl, beat eggs until well blended. Add cream cheese and sugar; beat until smooth. Divide mixture in half. Stir 3 ounces melted chocolate and creme de cacao into half mixture. Pour into crust lined pan. Stir creme de menthe into remaining half of mixture. Carefully spoon over chocolate mixture. Bake at 325 degrees for 65 to 80 minutes or until center is set. (To minimize cracking, place shallow pan half full of hot water on lower oven rack during baking.) Cool in pan completely.
