Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your mini cheesecake pan or muffin tin placed on a sturdy baking sheet.
  2. Melt the butter in a small bowl, then crush the OREO cookies into fine crumbs. Combine them with the melted butter and press into the mini cheesecake pan.
