I blogged about these Cheesecake Bites back in November 2008 after making the DB Cheesecake Pops. When I blogged about them before, I didn't have a picture and just wanted to get the recipe posted since a few people had requested it. I have a picture now (made them for a get together last week) and because they are SO good, I felt they deserved a re-blog!
I have been making these for years and they are one of my most requested desserts. They are a bit time consuming, but not so much so that you wouldn't want to make them. What I love about them is that each little bite is a perfectly creamy, delicious piece of cheesecake; graham cracker crust and all!

Definately a great treat and one that is sure to impress! Enjoy!
Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites
Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter, melted
Filling:
16 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp orange zest
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
Coating:
24 oz semisweet chocolate
3 TBSP shortening
Line 8" square pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine all crust ingredients; mix well. Press into bottom of prepared pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour filling over crust.
Bake at 300 for 40-45 minutes or until edges are set. Center will be soft. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours; then freeze for 2 hours. Cut into 48 pieces.
Melt chocolate and shortening. Cool for 2-3 minutes. Dip cheesecake bites; set on wax paper. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Store in refrigerator.
*Note: I find it easier to pull only a couple bites out of the freezer at a time while dipping. It makes dipping easier if they are still frozen.

These really look delicious. This is my first visit to your blog. I had intended to say hello and then move on. I, instead, started reading some of your earlier posts and stayed much longer than I planned. You have a terrific blog and I'll be back as often as I can to see what else you've been cooking. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
