These cheesecake bites were a no-brainer when I found the Candy Cane Oreos.
They were easy to put together, too. Freezing them before cutting was key to getting them to turn out right.
And the taste is so worth it! But I love peppermint. And Oreo crusts. And candy canes.
Like I said, it was a no-brainer.
I took these to a get together and they were the first thing to disappear!
Because who doesn’t love cheesecake (I mean, besides my husband)? And these little bites are the perfect cheesecake for this season of chilly weather and all things peppermint!
