Cotton Candy Cheesecake Shots
What could be more fun than mini, pink cheesecake shots decorated with cotton candy? These get a little zip from Duplin Cotton Candy blush wine. They look so pretty on a bunch buffet, and everyone smiles when you break them out as an after-dinner dessert surprise. Don't add the cotton candy until just before serving. And mini spoons are required to get every bit of sweet goodness out of the shot glasses.
