Mini Funfetti Cheesecakes

What about you – do your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews like sprinkles?

I mean how many times have you seen a kid pick a certain donut because it has sprinkles?!

But sprinkles aren’t just for kids. Sprinkles are fun, and adults need to have fun too.

These mini funfetti cheesecakes are l-o-a-d-e-d with sprinkles. Sprinkles in the graham cracker crust, sprinkles in the cheesecake, and topped with sprinkles.

You’ll want to use rainbow jimmies for this recipe. Jimmies are the long, skinny, rod shaped like sprinkles. The ball sprinkles, there fancy name is nonpareils, can bleed when you bake with them, so for best results I recommend jimmies.

• CRUST
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup rainbow jimmie sprinkles
