🔪 How to make Cheesecake Bites Recipe

- Refrigerate until hardened and serve.
❄️ Storage Tips
Refrigerate: You can refrigerate any of the toffee cheesecake balls you do not eat right away. Just place in a sealed bag or container. If you are going to stack the cheesecake balls place wax paper between each row to prevent the balls from sticking together.
Freezing: You can also freeze the cheesecake balls in an airtight freezer container for 3-4 months. Then when you want a few just remove and let them quick thaw on the counter or in the fridge overnight.
Suggestions and Alternatives
- Feel free to use different flavors of chocolate. White chocolate, semi-sweet, dark chocolate, etc.
- Add in ⅓ cup of heath chips into the cream cheese mixture. This will add more toffee flavor to the cheesecake balls.
- Graham crackers - Place some crushed graham crackers on the bottom of the parchment paper lined tray. When you place the dipped balls on the tray, it will pick up some of the graham cracker crumbs.
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle on top of the cheesecake balls along with the toffee.
- chocolate chips - you can melt milk chocolate chips with a teaspoon of coconut oil to use for dipping if you can't find melting chocolates
- Oreo cookies - crush Oreos into fine crumbs and add as a topping
- Other candies - M&M's, candy bars of choice, crushed peppermint candies, or another other flavors also make great alternatives. These cheesecake bites are endless in terms of the flavor opportunities.
