Heat convection oven to 300°F (standard oven: 350°F). Line 2-1/2-inch muffin cups with paper baking cups or lightly spray silicone muffin cups with vegetable cooking spray. Place vanilla wafer on bottom of each cup.
Mix together cream cheese and sugar in 20 qt. bowl of mixer fitted with paddle attachment on low speed until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing just until blended. Do not over mix. Gently stir 12 oz. HEATH Toffee Bits into batter. Using #20 scoop, deposit batter into prepared cups to 1/4 inch from top.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes* or until almost set. Remove from oven. Immediately sprinkle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon HEATH Toffee Bits onto each cup. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Remove from pan. Cover; refrigerate approximately 3 hours. Store leftover cups in refrigerator.
Step 3: If using convection oven, rotate pans one-half turn (180°) after 10 minutes of baking.
