Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Squares

Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Squares

Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Squares will steal the show at your next party. These are easy to prepare, can be may ahead of time and are just delicious! You could even switch up the decorations on top and do a white chocolate drizzle or a combo of milk and white chocolates. The addition of sprinkles would add some color and could be matched to any theme or holiday to make them more festive. You’ll want to cut your squares small as they will be rich by the time you are done bathing them in creamy, melted milk chocolate! Use a large chef’s knife to make your cuts. As for the chocolate disks,  I used Ghirardelli melts for these and they did not disappoint. You could also use Merckens which I am a fan of and often purchase through Amazon. I wouldn’t recommend using the melts sold in craft stores. Those are better left for the cute kiddie lollipops! Choose a high quality batch of dipping chocolates. I like to dip just a few before parking them into the fridge to set up. I find if you let them sit on the counter too long the chocolate can discolor. So, dip three and then get them in the fridge to chill. Repeat for the rest of your squares. I would store these in the fridge when done but bring them to room temperature before serving/eating.
