from Judy Minium – Feb 2018 meeting
10 oreo cookies, finely crushed
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cub unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
Heat oven to 325
Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottom of 24-30 paper-lined mini-muffin tins. Bake 8 minutes
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa in medium bowl until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing at low speed, just until blended. Spoon over crusts.
Bake 20 minutes or until centers are almost set. (test with toothpick) Cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours (these freeze well)
Before serving top each one with a dollop of white frosting or whipped cream. It makes them look better. (Optional additions in photo: add marshmallows and crushed candy cane.)
