Have you made these Dawn? I might make these for a Halloween snack - I mean, how

many baked goods can my kitchen hold this time of year!? ;o)

No, but I have made some similar to this. REC: Mini Cheesecakes and Oreo Cookie Cheesecake

These reminded me of a combination of these two recipes. I thought they would be cute for Halloween. I am taking the pumpkin cheeseball that Heather linked to and either a Halloween Oreo Cheesecake or Mini Halloween Oreo Cheesecakes over to in-laws for Halloween night.

this is a great idea! be sure to use the recipe with the added flour---I think it keeps the cake

sinking too much in the middle.

 

[dawnnys]

Added flour? Which recipe?

 

[angak]

the halloween oreo recipe contains a bit of flour. of the 2 recipes posted by DawnMO, the second one

adds 2T of flour. I just find that the small amount of flour gives a bit more structure to the cheesecakes so they don't slump so much.

Great tip! Whatever happened to Sue/San Diego anyway? I remember once she

was telling us about how bad of a day she was having and dropped the kitchen towel into the cake batter... then didn't hear from her after that! Is she here under another name?
