Caramel cheesecake bites

Everything tastes better when it is mini. It is also a bonus that mini means less calories. Although, when it comes to cheesecake, the calories aren’t worth counting anyways.

Though this recipe takes a little while to make, the end result is worth the extra effort that goes in to baking the cheesecakes. Although there are several different options for toppings, these cheesecakes are best served with warm, gooey caramel. After you plop two cakes in your mouth you know you should be done, but one more couldn’t
hurt, right?
