No-bake Cheesecake Chocolate Covered Bitty Bites

No-bake Cheesecake Chocolate Covered Bitty Bites -- A Pinch of Joy

Chocolate covered cheesecake bites – just the right size for a bit of dessert at a party or to end a good meal. The first time I made these I was dismayed. These little things refused any attempt at decoration. Snowflake candies fell off, nonpareils just bounced to the side. Pretty little drizzles of colored melts, swirls – forget it. I don’t have a whole lot of patience for “fiddling” as Grandma called it, so I put the chocolates aside and ditched the pretty picture in my head. Next day, Bytes said “those things are pretty good”.   I bit into the crisp chocolate and was smitten with the soft, cheesecake goodness inside. Forget decorations and fancies. Just pure ingredients, well blended and aged properly. Moral of the story:   Listen to the candy, people!

In keeping with the goal of making smaller candies in smaller batches, this recipe makes 2 dozen. Recipe can be doubled and you can make the cheesecake balls larger. We like these best when stored at room temperature, but then they disappear very quickly at our house. If you plan to keep them more than 2-3 days, store tightly covered in the refrigerator.

  5. Cover cookie sheet with wax paper. Scoop chilled cheesecake from bowl in scant teaspoonsful. Roll each ball lightly to “round it” and place on wax paper. Slide cookie sheet with cheesecake balls back into the refrigerator. If they are very soft, plan to leave them there for 10-20 minutes.
