Chocolate Cheesecake Dessert

This is a quick and easy way to make a cheesecake dessert without having two weeks' worth of leftover cheesecake. Try chopped peanut butter cups, Snickers, peanuts, or any other topping you'd like. 

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking cocoa
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted

- 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips
 - 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips (or any kind of chopped candy bar)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8x8" baking pan.

In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cocoa. Stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Microwave 1/3 cup chocolate chips at 10-20 intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate chips. Add egg and vanilla; beat on low speed until just combined. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips or chopped candy bar.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.
