" There are several garnishes for these easy cheesecakes, including possibilities for chocolate chips or sauce, butterscotch or caramel sauce, and pecans. The filling can also be layered with the topping ingredients, which looks nice in the jars. I used 4-ounce jars for these cheesecakes. You could also use the squat half pint jars for the cheesecakes. Just cover the bottoms with the crumbs and partially fill. Or, use the deeper half pint jars and double the portions to make 6 larger cheesecakes. The cheesecakes will last about 4 ti 5 days in the refrigerator, or freeze them for up to 6 months. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 hours before serving...."
