Black Bottomed Mini Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
It’s Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kiss time again! I quickly snatched up a bag at Target last week and was so excited to whip up another Fall recipe with them.
You are going to love these caramel pumpkin mini cheesecakes. I wish I would have snapped pictures of my husband and boys fighting over the last few bites of these that didn’t last long at all. Animals!
I love a good Oreo Cookie crust on my cheesecakes. It goes perfectly with the pumpkin spice and caramel. Not a whole lot of ingredients in this recipe, which makes it all the more tempting. Hope you all enjoy!!
Black Bottomed Mini Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
For the Oreo Cookie Crust
- 8 whole Oreos finely ground in food processor
- 1 1/2 tbsp melted butter
For the Caramel Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree I used Libby's
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
- 3 Litehouse Lowfat caramel dips comes in a package of 6 20z little cups
- 12 Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine ground Oreos and melted butter into a bowl until well combined. Spoon into 12 mini cheesecake cups that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Press into the bottom of each cup so the crust is flat. Partially bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
- In a stand or electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar and pumpkin until smooth. Beat in egg, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined. Pour evenly into the 12 cups, filling about 3/4 way full.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel into the tops of each filled cup and swirl with a toothpick gently. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until cheesecake is cooked through. Let cool completely.
- Remove cheesecakes from pan and top each with a spoonful of remaining caramel and a Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kiss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend!!
Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
Looks absolutely yummy! I almost licked the screen…lol
oh.my.heavens. those look absolutely amazing. I just may have to give them a try this year for Halloween!!
I seriously gained 12 pound just thinking about these. Wow, oh, wow!
This looks like fall in a little cute cake. Beautiful!
OH MY.
I only recently (within the last 2 weeks) have discovered your site. These last three recipes have put me over the top. I am NOT a sweets person (savory all the way, baby), but I am about to change over to the “dark” side! I decided I wanted to make the Ultimate Chocolate Layered Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Birthday Cake first. But, I forgot the recipe when I went to the store. I thought, “Oh, I think I can remember all the ingredients,” so in I went. Yeah, not. I came home with half of the ingredients for that cake and then half for the caramel apple cream cheese cookie bars! I guess both just fused their ingredients into my brain and now I need to make both – actually both of those AND the black bottom mini caramel pumpkin cheesecake bites! My waistline, my butt, my thighs, my stomach, and my tastebuds all thank you!
oh these are just sinful!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my cupcake hero entry, very encouraging.
These cheesecake bites is too much — caramel, pumpkin and so cute! They’re awesome.
Jenny…oh, my YUMMMMM!! I can’t wait to make these!
Just found your blog…LOVE IT. I am SOOOOOOOOO stinking impatient that I ran out to buy the ingredients for this, but am baking it in mini muffin pans. SIGH. Hope they turn out!!!!!! LOVE all your recipes!!!
Hi Jenny i want to make this tomorrow for a girls night out. I am thinking about making a whole one since I don’t have the individual mini pans. Will the quantities work for a standard size cheesecake pan?
These look fab!
Oh you are just so bad. But oh so sweet!!!!
Where can I find the mini cheesecake pans? These look fantastic I will certainly be making them for one of my fall events. Thanks for sharing another wonderful looking recipe and I just adore caramel.

I LOVE your recipes and have used many of them. Anyway we could get more delicious healthy/light/figure friendly recipes in the next little bit? Everything you come up with is great…and I could use the help!
Have to tell you I love that you used “low fat” caramel dip to top the fattening babies off. Will definitely be making these.
I have never even seen the pumpkin kisses until last week and I thought they looked disgusting, even though I LOVE pumpkin. But you just made a believer out of me and I’m off to buy some and make these little babies!!
Pumpkin spice kisses?! they think of everything!
Those look too good.
Oh those are gorgeous!!! I made an oreo crust pumpkin tart last Thanksgiving – I love the cheesecake idea! Bookmarking!
holy moly! I am in awe, that looks really good and so adorable too, it’s like little pieces of edible art on a plate
Okay this looks too good and I want a bite, yummy!!
Oh my, are those just the perfect bites!
These look great! I had no idea they made pumpkin spice Hershey kisses!
I’d love to make these but don’t have mini cheesecake cups (or 12 ramekins) – could I use muffin cups, do you think?
Can you use normal cupcake pan or mini pans
There is not a word to explain how amazing these look! What a great way to use the pumpkin spice kisses!
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to make these!
Oh…my…gosh! These look awesome, Jenny! Usually I only bake treats when we’re having company over or if I know I can give them away to people…but if/when I make these, I’m keeping them all for myself. 🙂
I just made Fall-themed mini cheesecakes too! Yours look great with those kisses on top!
very wonderful..they look so like fall and I am sure they are delicious. will give them a try for halloween or thanksgiving events. thanks
I have ever seen these before! Where did you get them? Please answer, it looks so good!
Thanks so much for the fun recipe; it sounds really tasty, and they turned out gorgeous!
I love your blog!!!!!!!!
Do you know if the Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses are available everywhere? When I was at Target a few days ago, they only had candy corn flavored….ick! I’m obsessed with anything pumpkin…..I’m drinking my coffee with pumpkin pie flavored creamer right now! If I find the kisses, I will definitely be making these!! They look amazing!
And ohmigosh, I just noticed these are pumpkin spice hershey kisses?!? I have never seen these ever! I hope I can find them around me! I will buy out the store!!
Oh WOW! These look so yummy. And totally unique! I have never seen something like it! Can’t wait to make! I am gonna try this weekend. 🙂
