Vegan gingerbread cheesecake bites

I’m a huge fan of cheesecake (the actual, regular kind), but I’d always been curious about vegan cheesecake.

Buckeyes

Like just about any recipe I make with peanut butter and chocolate, I dedicate this one to my sister, Holly, who is a PB-choc fanatic. Also, she’s an Ohio State Buckeye! These buckeyes are so simple to make, I’m sure she could whip them up in her college apartment. Nudge, nudge, Holly.
