No Bake Cheesecake bites are so easy to make and they look absolutely gorgeous too! No one will know how quickly and easily you whipped up these delicious morsels.
I love getting kids involved in the kitchen as soon as possible, especially around the holidays!
It really is a great way to make lots of memories, teach them some cooking skills and just have an opportunity to talk with them and get to know them better. There is something about baking together that brings everyone closer together. Plus kids love to be involved if you let them and creating something gives them a feeling of accomplishment.
No bake desserts are probably the best recipes for kids because they do not require using the stove. If you aren’t a fan of peanut butter, you could make these No Bake Chocolate Dipped Cheesecake Bites instead.
Because these peanut butter bites are so easy to make you could easily involve kids of all ages in making them. Another recipe that kids love to make are these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies.
We are big peanut butter fans in my house. The only thing better than peanut butter might be cheesecake. So why not combine the two!
This recipe uses Oreo cookies for the “crust” instead of the traditional graham crackers crumbs. This turns these peanut butter cheesecake bites into CHOCOLATE peanut butter bits!!
