We all like plenty of colorful cookies for Christmas. Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites will perfectly fit your Christmas cookies plate. What I like most about them is their bite size and of course – taste.  Classic cheesecake flavor is hidden under the chocolate.

It is a cheesecake wrapped up differently. It can be decorated according to the occasion. I´ve used green and red sprinkles, since Christmas is coming.  You can sprinkle them with chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles, candy cane crumbs, M&Ms….I leave that to you, use your imagination and be creative.
