Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

 

Amazing, delicious, OMG, wow - why didn’t I think of these!?

Recently we had a little contest, that some of you may have heard of…if not, you seriously need to join Club CandiQuik

The contest was named the “Make Our Ad” Contest. The Grand Prize Winner is receiving free CANDIQUIK for a year – yes, FREE (I need that deal)!

Oh – and did I mention her recipe is going to be featured in our next National Magazine ad?! Total bragging rights.

Here were the 3 finalists if you’re curious…

This recipe that I am about to share, however, did not “Make our Ad”. BUT it was dang good!

So I must share…
