Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s get started by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) while I prepare the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Next, I spread this mixture evenly in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and press it down firmly. This will create a beautiful foundation for our cheesecake bites.
