Instructions
Ready to make some magic in the kitchen? Follow these steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a mini muffin tin to form the crust.
- Bake the crusts for about 8-10 minutes or until golden. Let them cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is creamy and well incorporated.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crusts, filling each cup to the top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to set.
- Once set, remove the cheesecake bites from the tin. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully covered. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a little sea salt on top and drizzle additional caramel sauce if desired.
- Chill in the fridge until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy your Chocolate-Covered Caramel Cheesecake Bites!
