Sweet and Special
Confession: I used to HATE cheesecake!!! Crazy! I know! Well, I’ve since grown out of my crazy ways and have come to love a good cheesecake, but it has to be good, I mean really really good! I’ll eat a plain ole’ cheesecake, but I much prefer it to be filled with or covered in something sweet & special!
And these cute mini cheesecakes are certainly sweet and special! With a dark chocolate brownie base, the creamy cheesecake layer is full of mini chocolate chips and topped with sweet cherries. They are my kind of cheesecake for sure!

These would be so fun and cute to serve for Valentine’s Day, a baby shower, a birthday party. Or just a quaint weekend dinner party! They’re simple, sweet and super special!

How to Store Cherry Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Brownie Bites
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They will keep best without the cherry topping, which should be added at the last minute for the best taste and texture.
To freeze, place bites (without cherry topping) in a freezer safe container. Store in the freezer for up to one month. Defrost uncovered (to prevent sweating) in the refrigerator overnight.
