how to make peanut butter and jelly cheesecake bites
Make the crust. Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease 6 cup muffin tin. Combine dry ingredients. Add melted butter to dry, stir to mix into a dough-like consistency. Divide evenly between 6 cups and, using your finger, press down flat into a cup shape at the bottom, leaving it about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
Make the cheesecake batter. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour equal amounts of batter on top of crusts. Scoop a teaspoon of jelly on the top of each cheesecake bite. Using a toothpick or knife, swirl jelly around the top until it covers the surface. Bake 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

tips for making these pb&j cheesecake bites
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week!
When making the crust, I normally use a tablespoon to divide the dough evenly between the 6 muffin cups. This way I can make sure they are all the same.
Forming them into the bottom of the cup, I just use my finger to press the dough into the base of the cup. You could also use a spoon. They need to be about 1/4 inch thick or so.
Before removing the cheesecake bites from the pan, use a thin and flexible knife around the edges to help loosen them so they pop out easier!
