These Candy Cane Cheesecake bites were a no-brainer when I found the Candy Cane Oreos. Am I the only one that gets excited when I see new flavors of Oreos? No matter what the flavor is, even if it sounds disgusting, I feel drawn to try them. I might be the same with Doritos too. And I am usually disappointed with the flavors. But Candy Cane? That was a no-brainer. The Oreos are delicious by themselves. But they are even better made into Candy Cane cheesecake bites.
They were easy to put together, too. Make a crust, fill with deliciousness and bake.I froze them before I cut them, which was key to getting them to turn out right.
The taste is so worth it! I really love peppermint flavored treats. Plus, I love 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!
