- Press the mixture firmly into mini muffin tins or silicone molds to form the crust.
- Bake for 8 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

- If desired, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of each bite.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
