FILLING:

16 ounces(2 bricks) cream cheese room temperature

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

bag of mini rolo's

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Line 18 standard muffin pans with liners. Spray liners with cooking spray. Add crust mixture into each liner press it firmly into the paper cup.

FILLING DIRECTIONS:

Beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer or stand mixer till fluffy. Add sugar, flour & vanilla extract. Blend well. Beat eggs in one at a time till creamy.

Fill the muffin liners with the cream cheese mixture. Add 1 mini rolo into the centre of each cheesecake. Bake for 15-20 minutes until set. Cool on wire rack. Then transfer to the refridgerator.

TO DECORATE:

Place 2 mini rolo's in the middle of the cheesecakes while they are still warm.

Melt 10-15 caramels in a microwave safe bowl with 1-2 tsp of milk. Put this in a freezer bad and cup the tip off to let it run out easy onto the cheesecakes.

Melt 1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl with 1 tsp of butter. If it is too thick add some milk to it so you can squeeze it out of a freezer bag just like the caramel.
