illegal chocolate thing

trust me. this recipe should not exist. it's so so so good and so so so not good for you.

12 OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, crushed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, melted
2 containers (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
1 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

MIX crushed cookies and the butter in foil-lined 9-inch square pan. Press firmly onto bottom of pan to form crust.

BEAT cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until creamy. Gradually add milk, mixing well after each addition. Blend in chocolate. Gently stir in whipped topping. Spoon over crust; cover.

FREEZE at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from freezer 15 min. before serving to soften slightly. Cut into 16 squares to serve. Store leftover dessert in freezer.

[note: the next time i make this--and there will be a next time--i plan on using an entire package of oreos and using a 9 x 13 pan so that the chocolate topping isn't quite so thick and overwhelming. i can't believe someone actually sat around and thought of rolling oreos in butter. wow.]

just curious--why do you think it calls for cream cheese spread and not cream cheese?
