I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Twix Cheesecakes!!

Yum yum yum!! These Twix Cheesecakes are to die for & I can't wait to add different candies to them to see how those taste. The recipe is straight forward and makes about 15, but you have to chill these overnight so if you are making them to take somewhere, make them the night before....ENJOY!

Oh yeah, sorry the picture isn't the best!


Ingredients (Crust):
1/2 package Oreos-about 20
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter; melted

(Cheesecake Batter)
1 lb. Cream Cheese; softened
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 large Eggs; lightly beaten
1/2 cup Sour Cream
12 mini Twix bars; chopped into small pieces


What To Do:
  1. Preheat oven to 275F
  2. In a food processor, grind up the Oreos into fine crumbs
  3. Put the crumbs into a large bowl and add in the 1 Tbsp. sugar
  4. Pour in the melted butter and mix to coat all of the crumbs w/ butter
  5. Line a cupcake pan with liners
  6. Scoop a Tbsp. of the cookie crumbs into each cupcake liner
  7. Press the crumbs down firmly using your hand
  8. In another bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth with a hand mixer (low speed)
  9. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add in the 1/2 cup sugar and mix
  10. Then add in the vanilla extract and mix
  11. Slowly pour in the lightly beaten eggs and mix well
  12. Add in the sour cream and mix
  13. Chop the mini Twix bars into small pieces
  14. Add them into the batter and gently mix
  15. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the cheesecake batter into each cupcake liner
  16. Bake for 30 minutes on 275F
  17. Chill the cheesecake overnight in the fridge (I wanted to eat one so bad at this point)
