Fall is known for being a spicy season filled with turkey-eating holidays; this Thanksgiving, why not think about placing a platter of pumpkin turtle cheesecake cups on the table? Your mouth is bound to start watering when you realize that the base of the mini cakes is made using ground Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
The mixture of cereal and melted butter is placed in muffin liners nestled in the tin. Then a combination of pumpkin puree and yogurt is scooped into each pan. After baking the pumpkin turtle cheesecake cups layer on the pecans. The more the better, unless someone at your Thanksgiving feast is allergic to nuts. Top off the dish with drizzled caramel for a succulent sweet taste that will have you licking your fingers.
