Tasted good, but looked horrible! They cracked & sunk in middle! What happened?

It was a sure hit with my kiddos. They did spend most of the time just eating the candy corn though. I am thinking about re-using this recipe for 4th of July, making red white and blue cupcakes and topping w/ star sprinkles. Should be fun to make those as well!

I would make this recipe again, but perhaps without candy corn. The cheesecakes themselves were delicious, however they tend to condensate in the fridge which makes the candy corns a big runny mess and the cakes a bit soggy.

These were very easy to make, and very versatile. The coloring can be easily changed to accomodate any holiday.

This was a very easy recipe. I made if for dessert after pumpkin picking with some friends. I liked it because it was easy to take along on the trip.

This recipe was good, but the only thing I didn't like was it took a lot of time to cook. But other than that they are very good.
