No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bites
I love these little bites because they are great for kids and adults. They also happen to be my go-to convenience treat for parties; something a little less sweet and perfect for passing around, navigating through a crowd, and eating one handed, leaving your other hand free for a cocktail.
