    Oreo Peppermint Mini Cheesecakes

    While traditional desserts are always well-loved, mini desserts are ideal for a  New Year's Eve party , when you're going to be walking around and nibbling all night. Hence needing small bites you can pop on the move, instead of larger slices of cake and pie that require cutlery.

    Most guests will be eyeing that bottle of Champagne and not interested in a huge dessert anyway, especially after an indulgent holiday season the past few weeks. In such cases, making petite versions of popular desserts can earn you extra brownie points...so to speak!
