- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, softened

Instructions
Step 1:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed granola bars, melted butter, and sugar until evenly mixed. Press half of the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking pan that has been generously coated with nonstick baking spray.
Step 2:
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, almond extract, and spiced rum (or vanilla) until smooth and creamy.
Step 3:
- Gently fold in the nonpareils, reserving about 1 teaspoon for the topping.
Step 4:
- Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Sprinkle the remaining granola bar mixture on top, creating a crunchy layer, and garnish with the reserved nonpareils.
Step 5:
- Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until firm. Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled.
