OMG you have to try these, I first made these at christmas time and they were eaten within 5 mins of serving them. I made my second lot with strawberry wafers and they were great. Would give this recipe 50 stars if I could.

Really tasty little cheesecake bites! Easy to make, too. I rolled in coconut because that's what I had on hand.

Even tho I wasn't thrilled with the taste of this recipe at all, I did have some people that absolutely LOVED it. I guess it depends on the individual. I will make it again, but by request only.

While I thought these were OK tasting, I am afraid they really didn't appeal to me. I think my expectations were off... I thought the predominant flavors would be chocolate and strawberry, however I found those flavors to be rather subtle in comparison to the tang of the cream cheese. That being said, they were very easy to make so if you think they might appeal to you, give them a try.
