Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare mini cheesecake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium bowl. Add 24 crushed OREO cookies and stir until combined. Form into 1-inch balls and press into the mini cheesecake pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 16 ounces of cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Add 3 eggs, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix in 20 drops of green food coloring.
  4. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crusts. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly jiggly. Cool at room temperature then refrigerate.
  5. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and dip the cheesecake tops into it. Roll in 1 cup of chocolate sprinkles. Drizzle facial features with remaining chocolate, adding edible eyes and chocolate chips.
