Mini Cheesecake

1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
12-18 Nilla Wafers* (I made 18 cupcakes when I made this)
coconut, tinted
greenjelly beans and other Easter candy for decorating
12-18 pieces short-string licorice (4 in each)
mini chocolate chips*

**I made my own crust and pressed into the bottom of each muffin cup.
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with hand mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs just until blended.Place wafer on bottom of each paper lined med muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture evenly over wafers.Bake 20 min or until centers are almost set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Top with coconut and candy (or a fruit topping) just before serving.
