Directions

1 Heat oven to 300°F. Line 8-inch square pan with heavy-duty foil so foil extends over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix crust ingredients. Press in bottom of sprayed foil-lined pan.
2 In large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining filling ingredients; beat until smooth. Pour filling over crust.
3 Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until edges are set. Center will be soft but will set when cool. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours or until chilled. Freeze cheesecake about 2 hours or until firm.
4 Remove cheesecake from pan by lifting foil. Cut into 48 pieces; remove from foil and place on sheet of waxed paper.
5 In 1-quart saucepan, melt coating ingredients over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Cool 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly cooled. Place in 2-cup measuring cup.
6 Spear each cheesecake bite with fork; dip in melted chocolate to cover bottom and sides, letting excess drip off. Place on waxed paper.
7 Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate over each bite, smoothing top with back of spoon. Let stand about 20 minutes or until firm. Store in refrigerator.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Sliced into large squares, this cheesecake makes an elegant dessert. Arrange single-serving squares on a platter or on dessert plates. Transfer melted chocolate to a plastic squeeze bottle or a small resealable plastic bag. Snip a tiny corner from the bag. Artfully drizzle the plate and the cheesecake with melted chocolate.

Try other crumbs for the crust. Crush chocolate or cinnamon graham crackers, or chocolate or vanilla wafers.

Dipping forks are angled just right for dipping into melted chocolate. Look for one where cake and candy decorating supplies are sold.

I have made these so many times and I love it. If you don't like Betty Crockers recipe with the cheesecake, then make your own and follow the details on how to dip them. They are delicious. I also put just a touch of rasberry or carmel on top of the cheesecake before I dip them. Make sure you freeze them first after you cut them. It will help. Chocolate is slightly warm. So freezing them will help much better I have found.

DO NOT USE THIS RECIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made these for a BBQ with friends and family. I love Betty Crocker but this recipe was awful! The cheesecake itself had an odd taste that wasn't very appealing. The chocolate was very hard to apply. I never write these types of reviews but I feel that this was necessary. The concept was amazing but they were AWFUL. I made no subsitutions.

I loved these! I brought them over to my boyfriends house for a family barbecue and they were gone in seconds! I only altered a few things - i squeezed orange juice instead of using peel, I did not incorporate pecans and I did not dip them in chocolate. I will be dipping them in chocolate for the next time I make them, but I bet they will still taste delicious! Definitely something worth baking:)
