- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 16 oz. cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoon shortening
- candy hearts
Line a 9 inch baking pan with tin foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Press mixture onto the bottom of the baking pan. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla using a mixer.
Spread mixture over graham cracker layer. Bake in a preheated oven, 325, for about 35 minutes, or until center is just about set up. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool completely. Place pan in freezer for a minimum of 4 hours (overnight is best). Once frozen, use a sharp knife to cut cheesecake into small squares. Melt the chocolate and shortening in a bowl and stir until combined. Use a toothpick to dip each cheesecake square into the melted chocolate evenly. Place cheesecake square on parchment paper to set up. While still wet, you can place a candy heart on the top of each square. Keep refrigerated (or frozen) until serving!
