Please Welcome: Jamielyn from I {heart} Nap Time

Hi there Eighteen 25 fans! I'm Jamielyn from iheartnaptime.net and I'm SO excited to be here today. I absolutely adore these girls and have been a "blog stalker" for quite some time. It was so fun to room with them this summer at EVO conference. We may have had a little too much fun... and a little too much sugar (nahh). ;) Today I'm going to share with you a fun recipe: Candy Corn Cheesecake in a jar. They are SUPER yummy and adorable. I also made a free printable (link at bottom) for you all to enjoy! :) I love this time of year!

Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 Tb sugar
1/4 cup melted butter

Combine above ingredients in a small bowl. Place 2 TB of crumbs in each jar. I used 1/2 pint jars. Press firmly down with a spoon. Refrigerate for 30 min.

Cheesecake:

8 oz softened cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup sour cream
8 oz cool whip -softened

Beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugar and mix well. Next add sour cream and vanilla. Mix well. Then fold in the Cool Whip. Place topping in 2 bowls. Add orange food coloring in one and yellow in the other. Spoon the yellow cheesecake into the jars and then layer the orange topping next. Then refrigerate for 2 hours.

I also added candy corns in the middle...gotta have candy corn! :)

Then it was time to package these cute little jars. I placed a cupcake liner under the rim and then cut out a cute little tag and tied it to the jar with orange twine. You can download the printable for free HERE.
