Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Cubes
Who doesn't love cheese cake!? There is nothing like cutting into that perfect piece with your fork and savoring every bite, this cannot be replaced by any other dessert! Cheese cake cubes are the perfect dessert to serve when you are having friends over. They can be prepared a day ahead (even though I do not recommend that, there won't be any left for your guests) and they are easy to handle. There is no cutting, no mess, no nothing, they are ready to serve. Just take them from the container and plate. They are also a great picnic dessert because, once again, they are ready to serve. Which leaves you more time to spend with your friends and takes one thing off the "to do list" on the day of the event!
